Two of the most vocal activists on racial issues inthe church seek nothing less than a conversion ofAmerican Christianity. They directly challenge the churchesto resume leadership in overcoming and redressing America'slegacy of racial segregation.Campolo and Battle expose the realities of racial division inthe churches and then lift up a vision of a church withoutracism. To achieve reconciliation within and among thedenominations, they argue, both the black and the whitechurch need to acknowledge and overcome substantialproblems in their traditions.The authors provide a blueprint for how racially reconciledchurches can encourage activism in the cities, churchinvolvement in politics, and responsible use of the Bible,ultimately helping to transform American society itself.
