How Ableism Fuels Racism Dismantling the Hierarchy of Bodies in the Church Lamar Hardwick
As an autistic pastor and disability scholar, Lamar Hardwick lives at the intersection of disability, race, and religion. In How Ableism Fuels Racism , he helps Christian communi- ties engage in critical conversations about race by addressing issues of ableism. Hardwick believes that ableism—the idea that certain bodies are better than others—and the resulting disability discrimination are the root causes of racial bias and injustice in American culture and in the church. Drawing on historical records, biblical interpreta- tion, and disability studies, he examines how ableism has fueled both disability and racial discrimination and offers practical steps for dismantling ableism and racism.

Reckoning with Power Why the Church Fails When It’s on the Wrong Side of Power David E. Fitch History is clear: Whenever the church has aligned itself with worldly, coercive power, it ends up on the wrong side of important justice issues. But when the church cooperates with God’s power through his presence among the least powerful, its witness for Jesus transforms the world into a better place. Reckoning with Power unpacks the difference between worldly power and God’s power. By learning from the church’s historical pitfalls, David Fitch empowers Christians to relinquish worldly power and make space for God to disrupt and transform our culture for his kingdom.
