What this episode covers
In this episode of OP Talks, Rev. Dr. Tony Lin talks to Dr. Robert Chao Romero and Dr. Jeff M. Liou about their recent book 'Christianity and Critical Race Theory: A Faithful and Constructive Conversation' (Baker Academic, 2023). Dr. Romero and Dr. Liu each contribute chapters that constructively engage a tenet of Critical Race Theory (CRT). Their efforts address the fact that, In the last decade, CRT has become political fodder, fueling GOP political campaigns and divisive discourse, especially among North American evangelical Christians. "You’ll see in our book the way we use critical race theory to examine educational institutions, or churches, or church documents," Dr. Liou emphasizes. The two scholars ask "a particular set of questions that are really important and helpful, that have to do with the legacy and impact of race on these old systems and structures.”
