Just Thinking about Ethnicity

by Darrell Harrison, Virgil Walker

Just Thinking About Ethnicity (JTAE), is a biblical response to the issues of “race” and social justice. JTAE is a culturally-relevant, theologically-rich exploration into what the Word of God says about such issues and how the evangelical church should respond to the unbiblical narratives associated with them. Given that every believer in Christ is an apologist (1 Pet. 3:15), JTAE is a valuable addition to your repository of apologetics resources.

The authors hit this one out of the park.

I had heard some of the content in this book discussed on their podcast of a similar name: the Just Thinking Podcast. However, this served as a helpful refresher on a pervading school of thought that is invading the minds of those within, and outside, the walls of the church. Harrison and Walker are thorough in their research and grounded in their exposition of Scripture, exposing the lies of mainstream culture in regards to the topic of race.

Highly recommend this one to your reading list in 2024, and beyond.

Harrison & Walker have a done a masterful job at compiling all the key issues regarding our current controversies surrounding ethnicity from a Christian perspective.

[Eric Dye]

When you begin making up classes of Christians of which the Bible has provided no instruction you are forced to lean on a sociocultural construct regarding who man is and what his felt needs are.

Even if churches blends their predominantly black congregations with their predominantly white congregations to superficially demonstrate they are a multi ethnic church,
That is not the power of God. The gospel is the power of God

[Trish]

Excellent book by Darrell Harrison & Virgil Walker examining the current culture’s definition of ethnicity through the lens of scripture. This book was the product of a Just Thinking Podcast. As usual Harrison and Walker completed extensive research which provides detailed analysis of the subject.

Highly recommend this book.

[Joe Kitchen]

Darrell and Virgil take on some of today's cultural issues from a Biblical perspective. They address whiteness, CRT, black liberation theology, and racial reconciliation from a Christian worldview. This book exposes the shortcomings of worldly solutions and emphasizes our true reconciliation in Christ.

[Deborah U]

Excellent book for those wanting to understand the biblical response to our different ethnicities.

[Ron Comoglio]

Just as they do on their podcasts, the Just Thinking guys have carefully documented Biblically the issues with so many of today’s false philosophies. I will reference this work a lot!

[Laurie Elliot]

It was rather dense - so I read it twice. Probably the best I've ever read on the subject of race.
