(More customer reviews)This is one of the most helpful summations of race issues, political issues and religious issues I've read in a very long time. Bradley communicates so well to the person who is being introduced to these topics as well as to those in the academy who need depth and detail. From a white person's perspective, he clarifies much of the surface, sound-byte nonsense we hear on 24-hour cable news and explains the bigger, complex reasons for the moral degradation in this country and its systemic effects. Regardless of whether the reader agrees with any or all of his conclusions, it's a thoroughly researched work that must be at least be read and referenced whenever this topic or neighboring topics are addressed.

African American scholar Anthony Bradley understands the growing interest in the intersections of theology and economics emerging in light of Christianity's commitment to loving the poor. Local and global disparities in human flourishing call for prudential judgments that wed good intentions with sound economic principles. This book tackles the issues of race, politics, contemporary culture, globalization, and education by wedding moral theology and economics. For readers who enjoy the writings of African-American intellectuals like Walter Williams and Thomas Sowell, this book will be a breath of fresh air in terms of economics and public policy but is unique because it also explicitly applies Christian moral teachings to today's global concerns.
