Description

When Western Christians think about God, the default image that comes to mind is usually white and male.

How did that happen?Christianity is rooted in the ancient Near East among people of darker skin.

But over time, European Christians cast Jesus in their own image, with art that imagined a fair-skinned Savior in the style of imperial rulers.

Grace Ji-Sun Kim explores the historical origins and theological implications of how Jesus became white and God became a white male.

The myth of the white male God has had a devastating effect as it enabled Christianity to have a profoundly colonialist posture across the globe.

Kim examines the roots of the distortion, its harmful impact on the world, and shows what it looks like to recover the biblical reality of a nonwhite, nongendered God.

Rediscovering God as Spirit leads us to a more just faith and a better church and world.
