Jemar Tisby

Read by: The Author

The Color of Compromise takes listeners on a historical journey: from America’s early colonial days through slavery and the Civil War, covering the tragedy of Jim Crow laws and the victories of the civil rights era, to today’s Black Lives Matter movement. Author Jemar Tisby reveals the obvious – and the far more subtle – ways the American church has compromised what the Bible teaches about human dignity and equality.

Tisby uncovers the roots of sustained injustice in the American church, highlighting the cultural and institutional tables that need to be turned in order to bring about real and lasting progress between black and white people. Through a story-driven survey of American Christianity’s racial past, he exposes the concrete and chilling ways people of faith have actively worked against racial justice, as well as the deafening silence of the white evangelical majority. Tisby shows that while there has been progress in fighting racism, historically the majority of the American church has failed to speak out against this evil. This ongoing complicity is a stain upon the church, and sadly, it continues today.

Tisby does more than diagnose the problem, however. He charts a path forward with intriguing ideas that further the conversation as he challenges us to reverse these patterns and systems of complicity with bold, courageous, and immediate action. The Color of Compromise provides an accurate diagnosis for a racially divided American church and suggests creative ways to foster a more equitable and inclusive environment among God’s people.

Miguel A. De La Torre

Read by:  Paul Rodgers

Argues that the biblical Christ is not the Christ of white Christian imagination

Short. Timely. Poignant. Pointed. Burying White Privilege is all of these and more. This is the book that everybody who cares about contemporary American Christianity will want to hear.

Many people wonder how white Christians could not only support Donald Trump for president but also rush to defend an accused child molester running for the US Senate. In a 2017 online essay that went viral, Miguel A. De La Torre boldly proclaimed the death of Christianity at the hands of white evangelical nationalists. He continues sounding the death knell in this book.

In Burying White Privilege De La Torre argues that centuries of oppression and greed have effectively ruined evangelical Christianity in the US. Believers and clerical leaders have killed it, choosing profits over prophets. Prophetically calling white Christians to repentance, De La Torre seeks to rescue the biblical Christ from the distorted Christ of white Christianity.
