Got an advanced reader for this work by @ProfeChaoRomero and @Jeff_Liou on “Christianity and Critical Race Theory.”

For those who are trying to figure out if and how and where CRT and Christianity intersect, overlap, and diverge, you should pick this book up when it releases. https://t.co/sTK3FeQG6V
