In love, the authors direct the White American church to tell the truth to itself and its complicity in and endorsement of racism at the expense of their Black brothers and sisters in Christ. Wrestle with this book alone or in small groups, but don't call it quits. Let the book's inevitable discomfort lead to growth, understanding, and the beauty of repentance.--Christina Edmondson, cohost of the Truth's Table podcast

The subject of reparations has been the cause of much heat and little light in some Christian circles. Here is a study written with a rare combination of pastoral tenderness and intellectual rigor. I hope it ends the debate about reparations and helps many to begin the work toward achieving it.
--Thabiti M. Anyabwile, pastor of Anacostia River Church

With crisp historical details and analysis, combined with a wide-ranging engagement with sources, the authors are to be commended for exposing America's original sin. This will not be easy reading, but it will be absolutely indispensable reading for all churches.

As our country awakens to the difficult truth of our shared story and more and more of us are compelled to engage in the reparative work at the intersection of race and economics, Kwon and Thompson's book is a powerful and important step in the exploration of what repair looks like, not just for African American communities but for the soul of our country.
--Anasa Troutman, CEO of The BIG We

An exemplary work of public theology, born of chastened Christian conviction and pastoral anguish. Beautifully written and generous in tone, Kwon and Thompson's book illuminates the costs and joys of discipleship in a nation marked by White privilege and its theological disfigurations.
--Charles Marsh, University of Virginia; author of Strange Glory: A Life of Dietrich Bonhoeffer
