All God'S Children

A century ago, many people used the Bible to defend racist beliefs and practices. Now, Steven McKenzie insists that the Bible's true message leads Christians away from the evils of racism and narrowness of bigotry to God's vision of humanity, free from racial division. In the Old Testament, Israel was called beyond nationalistic pride, and Christ's church in the New Testament began as an inclusive community. McKenzie demonstrates that the Bible issues a clear call for unity that can overcome racism. This book is inspirational as well as educational for all Christians struggling to live faithful lives today.
