About the Book
“If white Christians acted more Christian than white, black parents would have less to fear for their children,” says respected public theologian and New York Times bestselling author Jim Wallis in his latest book, America’s Original Sin: Racism, White Privilege, and the Bridge to a New America.
It’s a timely call for a new conversation—and action—on racism, and a compelling agenda to deal with our lingering racial sins in many places, including our criminal justice system. White privilege must be confronted by white people, says Wallis, because “our primary identity is as the children of God.” Wallis speaks truthfully about race and inequality, but also brings clarity, hope, and healing to these troubling issues along with practical solutions to change the culture, public policy, and society.
