The Theology Nobody's Talking About: Race, Faith, and Capitalism
from Kwok ’n’ Roll · host Kwok Pui Lan
Dr. Jonathan Tran, a Vietnamese American Christian ethicist at Baylor University, argues that race and racism must be understood in the larger political economy that gives rise to it. He draws on Augustine and Aquinas and contemporary scholars such as Michel Foucault, Stanley Hauerwas, Vincent Lloyd, and Kwok Pui Lan to develop his theological ethics. The changing U.S. political landscape requires new thinking about politics on the left and the organization of social life. Asian Americans have particular contributions because of their adaptability to change and their increasing participation in politics.
