God, Race, and History - Liberating Providence

God, Race, and History examines how Christian theologies of providence have served as sites at which race has been constructed and resisted in modernity. It articulates an account of providence as the presence of Jesus Christ in the struggles of ordinary, overlooked, and oppressed human creatures to survive and flourish.
