What happens when ‘go, make disciples’ meets ‘Black Lives Matter’? Arising from the Council for World Mission’s “Legacies of Slavery” project, this book offers an unapologetic exploration of Christian Mission and its history, and the ways in which this legacy has unleashed notions of White supremacy, systemic racism and global capitalism on the world. Contributors reflect on the past and consider the future of world mission in an age of renewed understandings of empire and its impact. Contributors include Mike Higton, David Clough, Eve Parker, James Butler, Cathy Ross, Jione Havea, Peniel Rajkumar, Victoria Turner, Carol Troupe, Michael Jagessar, Paul Weller, Jill Marsh, Kevin Ellis, Rachel Starr, Kevin Snyman, Al Barrett, Ruth Harley and Peter Cruchley.

Anthony G Reddie, Carol Troupe

Anthony Reddie is Director of the Oxford Centre for Religion and Culture at Regent's Park College, University of Oxford, and one of the world’s leading black theologians. Carol Troupe is a research assistant at the Queen's Foundation

"...A marvelous achievement: The first of its kind broad based examination of the problem of whiteness in theology, theological education, and society in the United Kingdom. The contributors to this powerful volume capture both the evasion of many British theologians to confront their own racial empire and its intellectual legacies and a way forward in how to think a life of faith not bound to whiteness. These courageous scholars have marked a new beginning for theology in the UK and beyond. This book is the turning point and therefore it must be find its way into the hands of every student, pastor, and scholar interested in a viable future for the church and theology." -- Willie James Jennings "This is a landmark collection, drawing on a wealth of experience, theological scholarship and critical self-reflection. It should change the conversation about race and empire in British theology, and more importantly it should make white theologians think differently about how theology is produced and transmitted". -- Rachel Muers
