Color Blindness, Political Correctness, or Racial Reconciliation: Christian Ethics and Race by George Yancey
“Reconciliation theology offers a third way to examine the problems of race within our society.

Neither Jew Nor Gentile by George Yancey
“Neither Jew Nor Gentile not only documents which institutional measures are effective, but shows how and why they work.
