Summer Special: What Does the Bible Say About Race? (Part 1)

by | Aug 13, 2020

Episode Overview:

Isaac Adams gave a two-part lecture to a group of churches desiring to play a small role in bringing greater awareness to the historical roots and present forms of racism in Washington D.C. Their goal was not merely greater intellectual knowledge but greater compassion, so that they’d be better positioned to empathize and strategize toward the end of “adorning the doctrine of God our Savior.” (Titus 2:10)

In Part 1, Isaac answers three questions:

  • What does the bible say about race?
  • What does the bible say about racism?
  • Why does it matter?

  • 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).
