Redemptive Kingdom Diversity with Dr. Jarvis Williams

by | Oct 27, 2021

“ After this I looked, and there was a vast multitude from every nation, tribe, people, and language, which no one could number, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were clothed in white robes with palm branches in their hands. 

And they cried out in a loud voice:

Salvation belongs to our God,
who is seated on the throne,
and to the Lamb!”

Revelation 7:9-10 CSB

Episode Overview:

Dr. Jarvis Williams joined us to discuss his new book, Redemptive Kingdom Diversity: A Biblical Theology of the Kingdom of God. This book is not so much a book about race and racism. It is more about God’s plan for a people from every nation, tribe, and tongue, and the implications this age-old plan has on our lives today.

  • United? We Pray

    United? We Pray is a ministry to help Christians pray and think about racial strife. We want to encourage Christians amid the strife to rely upon God in prayer. So our prayers can be informed, we strive to learn and write about race, racism and its effects, and theology. We aim to be biblical, beneficial, and clear in all our efforts. While we’re burdened for all racial strife, we focus on racial strife between Christians because of the unique privilege and stewardship God has given his people: to bear witness to Him and to love all people, especially one another (Gal. 6:10).
