God's Word
The Gospel in Black and White: Theological Resources for Racial Reconciliation
Authors: Okholm, Dennis L., ed.
ISBN: 0-8308-1887-1
Publisher: Downers Grove, Illinois: InterVarsity Press, 1997

Summary: This is a book that came out of a conference, which means the chapters vary in topic and style, and means that the chapters stand on their own. These are some thoughtful Christians, passionately committed to racial reconciliation.

Check out Eugene Rivers' powerful essay, Evangelical Responsibility in an age of White supremacy, and Reginald Potter's essay, as these men tell it like it is. The last two chapters are heartwarming stories of Churches achieving racial harmony through real struggle.

"All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us."

2 Corinthians 5:18-20 (NIV)
