Cursed is the ground because of you; in pain you shall eat of it all the days of your life; thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you; and you shall eat the plants of the field. (Genesis 3:17b-18, ESV)

“In this follow-up article I want to turn to the Bible to suggest how it might help us understand issues of race and racism, for it also contains a narrative structure…. What I would like to do is compare and contrast the content of [DiAngelo’s White Fragility] story with the Bible’s.” - Challies

I primarily want to consider the ‘story’ DiAngelo is telling.” - Challies
“Mark Ward and others like him are taking the new position, the reactionary one, that arose out of mid-19th century modernism and rationalism. His position, and the biblical and the true Christian one, the faithful one, do not and cannot meet.” - Kent Brandenburg
“Packer authored hundreds of Christian books and articles over more than half a century, but he’s perhaps best known for his 1973 work Knowing God. Publishers have sold more than 1.5 million copies since the book’s release and have translated it into more than a dozen languages.” - WORLD
