Jesus Can't Fix Racism Book

Jesus Can’t Fix Racism confronts the ways American Christians and the church have learned to spiritualize injustice while refusing responsibility. It names a pattern that has repeated itself for generations: invoking Jesus as the answer while avoiding the work His teachings demand.

This book traces how prayer, unity language, and good intentions have been used within American Christianity to delay action, protect comfort, and silence those harmed by racism. Drawing from church history, theology, and lived experience, it shows how racism persists not because it is misunderstood, but because it has been accommodated.

Rather than offering arguments to win or positions to defend, this book exposes habits American Christians have normalized, rewarded, and preserved in the name of faith. It challenges readers to confront what has been excused, inherited, and left unaddressed.

This is not a book about belief. It is a book about responsibility.
