Title: America's Original Sin Subtitle: Racism, White Privilege, and the Bridge to a New America Author: Jim Wallis Narrator: Patrick Lawlor Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 9 mins Language: English Release date: 03-15-16 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 80 votes Genres: History, American Publisher's Summary: America's problem with race has deep roots, with the country's foundation tied to the near extermination of one race of people and the enslavement of another. Racism is truly our nation's original sin. "It's time we right this unacceptable wrong", says best-selling author and leading Christian activist Jim Wallis. Fifty years ago, Wallis was driven away from his faith by a white church that considered dealing with racism to be taboo. His participation in the civil rights movement brought him back when he discovered a faith that commands racial justice. Yet as recent tragedies confirm, we continue to suffer from the legacy of racism. The old patterns of white privilege are colliding with the changing demographics of a diverse nation. The church has been slow to respond, and Sunday morning is still the most segregated hour of the week. In America's Original Sin, Wallis offers a prophetic and deeply personal call to action in overcoming the racism so ingrained in American society. He speaks candidly to Christians - particularly white Christians - urging them to cross a new bridge toward racial justice and healing. Critic Reviews: "A thought-provoking plea to white evangelicals and white Christians in general." (Library Journal)
