Power, Injustice, and the Black Experience in America
Eric Redmond
CPT Fellow Eric Redmond rejoins the podcast to discuss the recent guilty verdict rendered against Derek Chauvin in the George Flloyd murder trial. We discuss the response of conservative evangelicals, as well as the different historical perspectives of white and black Christians on police violence. What are the biblical and theological dynamics at play in these discussions? How do we as Christians cultivate our integrity in the way we engage social issues, avoiding selectivity and fearful self-protection?
