I wrote βA Gospel-Centered Approach to Race and Ethnicityβ a few years back, but today it was published in the Journal of Sociology and Christianity
sociologyandchristianity.org/index.php/jsc/β¦
Tim Keller was asked why uses the word βevangelicalβ when itβs become so politicized and toxic:
βWell, itβs because most of us evangelicals are in Africa, Asia and Latin America, and the North Americans donβt get to just choose what weβre called because weβve wrecked the brand.β
Tim Kellerβs definition of the gospel:
Through the person and work of Jesus Christ, God fully accomplishes salvation for us, rescuing us from judgment for sin into fellowship with him, and then restores the creation in which we can enjoy our new life together with him forever.
With the help of many people, I passed my dissertation defense @TEDS today
Itβs been a long journey and still a few edits to go but you can now call me Dr. Hatch!

βAmerican Christians have never had trouble celebrating their victories, but honestly recognizing their failures and inconsistencies, especially when it comes to racism, remains an issue.β ~ @JemarTisby
