When God Became White – Dismantling whiteness for a more just christianity
Author: Grace Ji-Sun Kim
Christianity is rooted in the ancient Near East among people of darker skin. But when Western Christians think about God, the default image that comes to mind is usually white and male. how did that happen? Theologian Grace Ji-Sun Kim explores the historical origins and theological implications of how Jesus became white and God became a white male. The myth of the white male God enabled Christianity to have a profoundly colonialist posture across the globe. Kim examines the roots of the distortion, its harmful impact on the world, and what it looks like to recover the biblical reality of a nonwhite, nongendered God.
“When God Becomes White is an incredibly comprehensive yet personal and intimate look at the history of whiteness in the church and an excellent example of the power that shows up when silenced voices are heard and held with care. This book is an absolute must read for all who call themselves Christians today.
