Ebook About A New York Times, USA Today, and Wall Street Journal bestseller!An acclaimed, timely narrative of how people of faith have historically--up to the present day--worked against racial justice. And a call for urgent action by all Christians today in response. The Color of Compromise is both enlightening and compelling, telling a history we either ignore or just don't know. Equal parts painful and inspirational, it details how the American church has helped create and maintain racist ideas and practices. You will be guided in thinking through concrete solutions for improved race relations and a racially inclusive church.The Color of Compromise:Takes you on a historical, sociological, and religious journey: from America's early colonial days through slavery and the Civil WarCovers the tragedy of Jim Crow laws, the victories of the Civil Rights era, and the strides of today's Black Lives Matter movementReveals the cultural and institutional tables we have to flip in order to bring about meaningful integrationCharts a path forward to replace established patterns and systems of complicity with bold, courageous, immediate actionIs a perfect book for pastors and other faith leaders, students, non-students, book clubs, small group studies, history lovers, and all lifelong learnersThe Color of Compromise is not a call to shame or a platform to blame white evangelical Christians. It is a call from a place of love and desire to fight for a more racially unified church that no longer compromises what the Bible teaches about human dignity and equality. A call that challenges black and white Christians alike to standup now and begin implementing the concrete ways Tisby outlines, all for a more equitable and inclusive environment among God's people. Starting today.Book The Color of Compromise: The Truth about the American Church’s Complicity in Racism Review :
2959 Sadly, Tisby's book would have been far sharper and more effective, if he had only given out advance drafts to thoughtful, politically conservative evangelicals and had asked for their critiques.For instance, David French and Russell Moore come to mind. They seem to be racially sensitive (French has an adopted daughter from Ethiopia, and both of them were under fire for their 2016 anti-Trump stand). Additionally, French and Moore are both genuinely and passionately committed to pro-life and religious freedom causes.Tisby also would have benefitted from learning a whole lot more about conservative economic and political philosophy, say, from Thomas Sowell's Conflict of Visions. (Sowell happens to be African-American.) Like most in academia, Tisby exists in a liberal monoculture, and simply does not understand how conservatives think, or why they passionately hold some of the viewpoints that they do.For instance, while Tisby's main axiom is "racism never goes away; it just adapts," he seems not to be willing to entertain the possibility that, perhaps, actual solutions to racism and racial disparities adapt over time as well. Could it be, that today's liberal ideas and policies are not always the most helpful at attaining either racial reconciliation or African-American educational, vocational, and economic advancement?Meanwhile, it is all too tempting to attribute the rise of the Religious Right entirely to racism, and ignore other complexities. It was a big mistake for Tisby to have relied so heavily on Randall Balmer's deeply problematic narrative. For starters, if Southern Baptists didn't start out as uniformly pro-life in the early 70's, then that's because the SBC wasn't all that conservative back then. (The SBC's Conservative Resurgence began in 1979.) Also, Balmer is hardly an objective evangelical historian; rather, he was part of that cottage industry of paranoid books about America's "theocracy" after George W. Bush was reelected in 2004. (Surely, Balmer would never, ever see left-wing religious involvement in politics as similarly "theocratic" but would only praise such efforts!)Again, is it possible that some conservative evangelicals back in the 70's found Bob Jones' ban on interracial dating odious, but also found the idea of governmental meddling in Christian institutions frightening?If so, then in fact, their fear wasn't unwarranted. Fast-forward a few decades after the 1983 BJU SCOTUS 1983, and - following identical legal logic - the U.S. Solicitor General in Obergefell (2015) realistically threatened the tax exempt status of every Christian church and para-church organization which attempts to faithfully teach and live out the church's 2000-year tradition of biblically orthodox, sexual ethics.Tisby seems not to have engaged with any intelligent critics of the Black Lives Matter movement, such as Heather MacDonald. Although he does separate the organization from the hashtag slogan, he glosses over the fact that Michael Brown's supposed "Hands up! Don't shoot!" cry was a hoax that galvanized the BLM movement. He also doesn't mention that Michael Brown was violent (even if unarmed), and there appears to have been ample forensic evidence to have justly acquitted the cop, Darren Wilson. Eric Garner's death was horrific - and the NYPD cop on the scene who was in charge of the chokehold, Kizzy Adonis, is African-American. Half of the cops who were responsible for transporting Freddie Gray are African-American. Riots in cities such as Ferguson and Baltimore have crippled the economy (including minority-owned businesses), and cops pulled back on their police work, which led to a significant rise in the homicide rate (also affecting black lives).Tisby's description of the rise of "The Fundamentals" crowd in the early 20th c. also didn't smell right to me. Would I be shocked to find out that there was latent (or overt) racism within this movement? No, I would not. However, the main motive behind the publication of "The Fundamentals" was a reaction against higher biblical criticism in Germany, which led to a lot of skepticism about the reliability of the biblical text. Walter Rauschenbusch represented the heterodoxy that "The Fundamentals" intended to oppose. Therefore, since Rauschenbusch's "social gospel" was aligned with the heterodox Christian camp, and "fundamentalists" (today's evangelicals and fundamentalists) wanted to clearly stand for orthodoxy, the two camps parted ways.(However, I would completely agree with Tisby: Christian conversion and participating in God's plan for His new creation - including a more just and fair world - never ought to have separated in the first place; they are two inextricably linked parts of the same Gospel.)The most horrific part of the book was the graphic description of lynchings. However, after reading the book, it also occurred to me just how violent and grisly an act abortion really is.How is it that Tisby - as part of a group of people who've been so devastatingly dehumanized and terrorized over the centuries in the U.S. - can't see how awful it is that we dehumanize human fetuses, and the utterly grotesque and unjust violence we perpetrate on these innocent human victims, as a result of denying them human rights? I can understand that abortion is a wrenching and difficult subject, and can genuinely sympathize with women who struggle with unplanned pregnancies. However, why can't Tisby even acknowledge that the pro-life view - treating the human fetus as worth far more than a glob of expendable protoplasm - is a genuine issue of conscience and basic human rights?I agree with Tisby, that we white evangelicals would do well to learn (and keep learning) about our complicity with racism. I think our voting for Trump was a disgrace, and badly damaged the credibility of our Christian witness, as well as grievously harming our minority brothers and sisters in Christ. (Unlike Tisby, however, I do understand the pressures that led conservative evangelicals to vote for Trump, many of whom feeling that he was the best of two awful presidential options.)Tisby obviously has a passion for racial justice and reconciliation, as all Christians should. There are so many racial wounds that need addressing, not least, within the evangelical church.However, until progressives like him truly welcome conservatives to the table - as conservatives - and genuinely try to understand how conservatives think and what their cherished beliefs are, and why, there will be no racial reconciliation. Either inside or outside the church.Tisby's book is, sadly, a missed opportunity.
