I bookmarked many logical fallacies and frustrating quotes but as I began to type them out I just felt more like I did while I was reading the book, like I was at the dentist getting my perfectly healthy teeth drilled into for no reason. One thing Baucham was extremely clear on, and that I agree with, is that a lot of Christians who support CRT do so from a genuine desire to help others. While their intentions are good, their support for such a vile ideology is not, and they need to examine CRT for what it really is, then decide whether or not to pursue supporting this idea. They need to investigate for themselves and not just accept what the media and society tell them. To be clear, I am completely, one hundred percent, wholly, totally, and unwaveringly against CRT, social justice, racial inequality, and every vile idea Marxism has birthed. However, I also agree with Baucham that, when we interact with brothers and sisters who disagree, we need to do so in a direct, but kind, manner. Thus, I will compose my review, such as it is, in a direct tone. I devoured Raghuram Rajan's Fault Lines: How Hidden Fractures Still Threaten the World Economy in a very short span of time last night. It's brief, well-written, and extremely interesting. I would definitely recommend adding it to your financial crisis reading list."—Matthew Yglesias, Yglesias blog I would add that by “read social science and history,” those in the CSJ camp inevitably mean Tisby and not Sowell, DiAngelo and not McWhorter, Kendi and not Lindsey, Alexander and not Steele. I could not stop reading this wonderful combination of new data, psychological insight, practical advice, and compassion. It will be a terrific personal and professional resource."

Ex: In Chapter 1, he calls the Social Justice movement and its impact on the church, a "looming catastrophe" (in fact he uses some form of the word "catastrophe" 17 times in the book). But then he also says, "I don’t think anyone would say that what we are dealing with here rises to the level of the Spanish Inquisition or the Protestant Reformation in terms of threatening our unity." But his pervasive earthquake analogy pretty clearly suggests social justice is a threat to the unity and integrity of the church. So which is it? He claims that Matthew Hall, provost of The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, believes that total depravity is only shared by those with a “certain spectrum of the melanin scale” rather than through their descent from Adam (76). Accusations of this severity deserve objective evidence or at the very least they need more than mere speculation from a sound bite clip. First, it helps to know this happens to way more people than you'd think. Nobody wants to talk about estrangement due to shame. In my case, I've learned that there's nothing much I can do to change the situation. I've reached out several times to two siblings and have been ignored. Thus, it's no longer worth beating myself up about. I've put it into God's hands.In this fabricated arrangement, there is no forgiveness. There is no gospel. The only thing left are the oppressors and the oppressed. In this scheme, original sin is redefined as “racism.” The agenda of social justice, which is presented as a worldview renders the gospel invalid and impotent.

He quotes Shai Linne’s response to George Floyd’s death so as to insinuate that somehow his sympathy with this loss of life is illegitimate (54).God's Word informs Dr Baucham's whole perspective and he wrestles with many of the most important issues of our time, including those that many others are afraid to touch: fatherlessness, education, crime, and abortion. This is The very heart of antiracism is the fact that there is no neutrality. Baucham writes, "antiracism means more than simply being "against racism." The new definition adds the dimension of activism. The antiracist, therefore, is one who "does the work" of exposing, combatting, and reversing the ubiquitous influences of racism in the past, present, and future." So one is either a racist, or an antiracist.
