Teaching for a Culturally Diverse and Racially Just World

"This book is an excellent set of essays describing the effects of racism and marginalization, from faculty who teach at the apex of theological education and racial realities. Thoughtful, personal, evocative, and not satisfied with the present forms of teaching that perpetuate a narrow tradition of Eurocentrism, the authors are able to offer imaginative and practical suggestions for the classroom and for how the whole enterprise of theological education is structured. A must read for any current educator within the field."

--Nadine S. Pence, Wabash Center for Teaching and Learning in Theology and Religion, Indiana



"In this groundbreaking book, racial and ethnic minority teachers in theological education, and their white allies, discuss changes in pedagogy, curriculum, institutional life, and governance necessary to advance the cause of racial justice and cultural diversity. I recommend this exciting volume enthusiastically."

--Kwok Pui-lan, Episcopal Divinity School, Massachusetts



"This is a wonderful resource for teaching and learning in the twenty-first century. Rather than retreating from the dilemmas faced when confronting institutionalized racism in theological contexts, these authors lean into the challenges and offer a broad and deep array of pertinent frames of analysis with correspondingly pragmatic responses. There is much bread for the journey here and an invitation into a community of hope. Every school in the ATS should be reading and learning from this book."

--Mary E. Hess, Luther Seminary, Minnesota
