"Prejudice continues to exist and flourish in our society and
world. It fosters guilt among some groups and shame among others.
Dr. Sandra Barnes helps the Christian community see the problem as
well as move toward transformation."
*Stephen C. Rasor, Professor of the Sociology of Religion,
Interdenominational Theological Center*
"Barnes has made accessible to nonacademics important,
well-researched insights surrounding the prevalence of prejudice in
our society. This clear and readable book will help Christians to
think more wholistically about how to deal with individual and
societal prejudice."
*Dr. George Yancey, associate professor of sociology, University of
North Texas, author of Beyond Racial Gridlock*
"Dr. Sandra L. Barnes effectively translates the insights of
sociology into the language of theology in order to set us free
from prejudice. This book reaches the hearts of Christian believers
in the pew and in the classroom by speaking words of God's peace
both to those sincerely struggling to overcome attitudes of
prejudice and those painfully demeaned by ugly bigotry. True
reconciliation becomes possible as we subvert the power of
prejudice in the lives of individuals and in the climate of
society."
*Curtiss Paul DeYoung, Associate Professor of Reconciliation
Studies, Bethel University*
"Dr. Barnes has demonstrated in this book that the bridge between
prejudice and peace is the power of Christ."
*Dr. David A. Anderson, Founder and Senior Pastor of Bridgeway
Community Church, President of BridgeLeader Network, and nationally
syndicated radio talk show host*
"Sandra Barnes's work is fully intelligent and fully Christian, and
her insights are both smart and wise. This holistic book is an
essential read for Christians committed to understanding prejudice
and making change."
*Jenell Williams Paris, Associate Professor of Anthropology, Bethel
University, St. Paul, Minnesota*
