In the sixteenth century, the church faced a doctrinal crisis. Today, the crisis is race.
We all know that racial unity is important. But how can Christians of different ethnicities pursue unity in an environment that is full of landmines on all sides?
In The New Reformation, Christian hip-hop artist Shai Linne shows how the gospel applies to ethnic unity. Christians today have to fight against two tendencies: idolatry and apathy. Idolatry makes ethnicity ultimate, while apathy tends to ignore it altogether. But there's a third way, the way of the Bible. Shai explains how ethnicity--the biblical word for what we mean by "race"--exists for God's glory.
Drawing from his experience as an artist-theologian, church planter, and pastor, Shai will help you chart a new way forward in addressing the critical question of what it means for people of all ethnicities to be the one people of God.
