What is Critical Race Theory?

It may be one of the most widely referenced issues of the day, but it's also one of the least understood. In its translation from the academic world to the general public, Critical Race Theory (CRT) has inaccurately become a catch-all term for anything related to race. But what does it actually mean, and how should Christians engage it?

Ed Uszynski—whose PhD in American culture studies navigated readings in Marxism, Critical Theory, and Critical Race Theory—carefully unpacks what critical race theorists seek to accomplish and what Christians can learn from them. Uszynski generously explores CRT's roots, context, and central tenets, revealing how its insights are used and distorted but also how they might benefit the church. With responsible answers to legitimate concerns, Uszynski goes beyond the surface to provide a reliable path of just discernment and cultural engagement.

Hope all white Christians read this.

This was a great book. Challenging, enlightening, full of mercy and grace. As a white middle-age Christian man I feel like I have a much better idea of how to better address racial tension within our nation, myself and the church. Thank you Ed.

A Must-Read for Understanding CRT Through Conservative and Liberal Worldviews, Grounded in a Biblical Perspective

Please note that the title may cause some to erroneosly believe this goes against biblical teaching, I assure you it does not promote ideology that opposes a biblical world view. It is an essential read for anyone seeking to navigate the complex and often contentious debates surrounding CRT with clarity, grace, and biblical wisdom. Whether you’re in ministry, pastoral work, social work, or simply someone striving to understand this divisive topic, this book offers a balanced and thought-provoking perspective.

The author tackles CRT without falling into reactionary extremes, instead providing a nuanced analysis rooted in scripture. He challenges readers—conservatives and liberals alike—to move beyond assumptions or surface-level critiques and instead engage deeply with both the implications and limitations of CRT from a Christ-centered lens.

In a time when polarizing narratives dominate, this book is an important resource for fostering meaningful dialogue, equipping believers to respond with both truth and love. By untangling the complexities of CRT, it helps Christians better understand how to address issues of race, justice, and reconciliation in ways that honor God and uphold biblical principles. This work is as much about understanding CRT as it is about equipping believers to embody the gospel in a divided world. A refreshing, balanced, and necessary contribution to the conversation.
