In a world marked by the effects of colonial displacements, slavery's auction block, and the modern observatory stance, can Christian theology adequately imagine racial reconciliation? What factors have created our society's racialized optic--a view by which nonwhite bodies are objectified, marginalized, and destroyed--and how might such a gaze be resisted? Is there hope for a church and academy marked by difference rather than assimilation? Andrew T. Draper's 'A Theology of Race and Place' http://snip.ly/0f8tx pursues these questions by surveying the works of Willie James Jennings and J. Kameron Carter, who investigate the genesis of the racial imagination to suggest a new path forward for Christian theology.

Jennings and Carter both mount critiques of popular contemporary ways of theologically imagining Christian identity as a return to an ethic of virtue. Through fresh reads of both the "tradition" and liberation theology, these scholars point to the particular Jewish flesh of Jesus Christ as the ground for a new body politic.

By drawing on a vast array of biblical, theological, historical, and sociological resources, including communal experiments in radical joining, 'A Theology of Race and Place' builds upon their theological race theory by offering an ecclesiology of joining that resists the aesthetic hegemony of whiteness.

Andrew T. Draper is Senior Pastor of Urban Light Community Church in Muncie, Indiana, and Visiting Assistant Professor of Theology at Taylor University in Upland, Indiana, where he also directs the Honors Guild.
