Publisher's summary

Read by the author.

Though many today accuse Christianity of being a White, imperialistic religion, it is actually the source for cherished Western ideals of racial and gender equality. In More than a White Man's Religion, author and speaker Abdu Murray shares stories from the Bible and his own experiences as a global apologist, a member of an ethnic minority, a son of immigrants, and a former Muslim to show that the gospel message provides dignity and liberty to non-Whites and women.

More than a White Man's Religion reveals:

• The ethnically diverse roots of biblical stories and passages that inspired some of the greatest social reforms in history
• How challenging and sometimes confusing Bible passages and stories can be best understood to champion equality for ethnically diverse people and women
• Ways believers can bring real and lasting change to our culture's pervasive racial, ethnic, and gender equality issues by following Jesus' and his followers' examples

Without overlooking the places where Christianity has failed to live up to its own ideals, Murray challenges the myth that Christianity is an oppressive, Western religion and shows believers how to better fulfill their God-given mandate to uphold the dignity of every human being.

Tackling head-on one of the most serious challenges to the Christian faith in our multicultural age, More than a White Man's Religion demonstrates how the gospel can inspire positive change for modern culture.

Abdu is great as usual

It is always great to listen to Abdu and this book has been no exception. He provides great insights and has a talent to convey them to the reader. This is a must read in todays world. I have met Abdu twice in my life and he is such a humble giant of a man that makes you feel we have been sitting around the same campfire for always despite our vastly different cultural backgrounds. I certainly recommend any of his books.

The clarification we all needed about Christianity

I have encountered the questions raised in this novel very frequently. Is christianity inherently racist, is it European, does it discriminate? Rather than making assumptions and then rejecting Christianity, I challenge the reader to explore the full nuances of Christianity and give it a fair hearing. Mr. Abdu Murray deftly responds to the relevant questions of today, and he does so intelligently, earnestly, and in love.

Ten out of ten would recommend.

I may be a white man, but even I think this is amazing! Please do yourself a favor and listen to it.
