Christology and Whiteness

This book explores Christology through the lens of whiteness addressing whiteness as a site of privilege and power within the specific context of Christology. It asks whether or not Jesusâ life and work offers theological religious and ethical resources that can address the question of contemporary forms of white privilege. The text seeks to encourage ways of thinking about whiteness theologically through the mission of Jesus. In this sense white Christians are encouraged to reflect on how their whiteness is a site of tension in relation to their theological and religious framework. A distinguished team of contributors explore key topics including the Christology of domination different images of Jesus and the question of identification with Jesus and the Black Jesus in the inner city. .
