In recent years, there has been renewed focus on the justice issues of race and racism, as the subject of worldwide protests in 2020 and ongoing social, political, and cultural debate.

This volume collects chapters from 20 Adventist academics, pastors, and writers from diverse cultural backgrounds in response to the question of what Adventist Christian faith can offer to the vital and urgent work of antiracism.

These authors draw on the Bible-including the Hebrew prophets and Adventist understanding of New Testament prophecy, Jesus, and the gospel-as well as Adventist history, and sound the call to respond to these contemporary issues faithfully, thoughtfully, practically, pastorally, and politically.

Contributors:

Janice De-Whyte, Olive Hemmings, John Skrzypaszek, Claudia Allen, Kayle de Waal, Angela Li, Yi-Shen Ma, Andy Lampkin, Matthew Korpman, Michael Campbell, Kendra Haloviak Valentine, Mark Carr, Herma Percy, Marlene Ferreras, Greg Hoenes, Siroj Sorajjakool and Hans Gutierrez, with an afterword by John Webster.
