近年来，基督教学者越来越意识到他们有责任认识并应对种族和种族多样性所带来的挑战,en,相似地,en,历史上白人基督教学院,en,大学,en,神学院和会众正在努力将自己变成欢迎少数群体并敏感其需求的社区,en,这本全新论文的集合旨在使那些从事这些举措的人了解种族的历史联系,en,种族和基督教，并探索实现建设性变革的方式,en,该卷是由瓦巴什（Wabash）教学中心资助的一项长期研究的产物,en. Similarly, historically white Christian colleges, universities, seminaries and congregations are struggling to transform themselves into communities that are welcoming to minorities and sensitive to their needs. This collection of all-new essays is meant to enable those who are engaged in these initiatives to understand the historical linkage of race, ethnicity and Christianity and to explore the ways in which constructive change can be achieved. The volume is the product of a long-term study funded by the Wabash Center for Teaching and Learning in Theology. 在这项研究的过程中，许多基督教机构现在提供有关种族和种族的课程,en,但是，从严格的基督教奖学金的角度来看，几乎没有相关文献,en,这本书旨在填补这个空白,en,作者解决了这样的问题,en,基督教教会的历史和领导人与奴隶制有关,en,隔离,en,和种族隔离,en,历史上哪些圣经的文本和学说代表种族项目使用,en,以及与当今的种族和种族危机有关的,en,宗教领袖如何建设性地参与此类危机,en,会众如何塑造价值观,en,公民承诺,en,对成员的理解和敏感性,en, but that there is very little relevant literature written from the standpoint of rigorous Christian scholarship. This book is intended to fill that gap. The authors address such questions as: What has been the history of Christian churches and leaders in relation to slavery, segregation, and apartheid? Which biblical texts and doctrines have historically been employed on behalf of racial projects, and which are relevant to the racial and ethnic crises of our day? How have religious leaders constructively engaged such crises? How do congregations shape the values, civic commitments, understandings and sensitivities of their membership? 当地会众如何成为种族和解与司法倡议的网站,en,是否有积极的模型，即教会和其他宗教机构如何帮助种族和种族紧张局势和分裂,en,这些职业的基督徒如何将正义带入商业,en,教育,en,政府,en,和社会的其他领域,en,当良好的意愿无法完成所需的目的,en,我们如何分析出了什么问题,en,由代表多元化学科的学者组成的族裔和族裔团队撰写,en,这本书将满足紧迫的需求，并为基督教背景下的种族和种族讨论树立新标准,en,基督教多年,en,基督教,en,伊斯兰教和无神论,en,邪教,en,宗教,en,文化,en? Are there positive models for how churches and other religious institutions have helped to bring healing to racial and ethnic tensions and divides? How might Christians in the professions work to bring justice to business, education, government, and other areas of society? When good intentions fail to accomplish desired ends, how do we analyze what went wrong? Written by an interracial and interethnic team of scholars representing diverse disciplines, this book will meet a pressing need and set a new standard for the discussion of race and ethnicity in the Christian context.
