A system of thought known as Critical Race Theory (CRT) is now being discussed all over American culture. College professors are teaching it, businesses and government organizations are holding training sessions on it, and psychologists are using it in their counseling practices. In recent years, this system has even gained a platform in evangelical churches and seminaries. Just what is “Critical Race Theory”? Is America a racist society? Can you be racist without even knowing it? Is race the primary lens for how we should look at civic life together? More importantly, what does the Bible say about race? How should race relations be approached and practiced in the church?

In this class, we will explain what CRT is and evaluate it from a biblical perspective. If you are interested in seeing how the Bible connects to a hot-button contemporary issue, this class is for you.
