Evangelical Christianity and the Problem of Whiteness

6m 26s

Best-selling author Brian McLaren grew up as a Christian fundamentalist where rock and roll was the devil. His religious journey led him to confront issues of social and racial justice. Brian talks about the corrupting force of racism in evangelical orthodoxy and how white privilege has led to a theology that focuses on personal sin rather than racial inequality.
