What is racism? How should Christians who believe in nonviolence and in the distinction between Jesus's Kingdom and the world's powers respond? How do we make sense of the polarized political debates on the subject, even as they spill over into our social lives, fracturing relationships in families and communities? In my research over the past several years, I believe that we can bring a firm conviction in Jesus's gospel in peace…

Each of us was made in God’s image. This means that each of us was beautifully created with a desire for relationship and the capacity to love as God loves. This was embedded in our make-up and design. Because we are unique as individuals, we have the potential to manifest God’s goodness in unique, individual ways. I believe that the love Jesus calls us to is not a self-emptying, but a “self-actualizing…

What this essay attempts is a theological response to current debates in the Protestant and Evangelical world from a Kingdom theological perspective, outlining a position centering “cruciformity.” I hope that this essay will be a…
