The novel coronavirus pandemic, massive unemployment and racial unrest with the murder of George Floyd has caused some Christians to question their faith and ask the question, "Where is God in all of this?" This is not a new question, and actually follows an emerging trend in the African American community that perhaps Christianity is not the "right" religion for Black people, that the Bible speaks more to slavery and subservience than liberation and empowerment. We talk with theologian, ordained minister and President and Dean of Jakes Divinity School, Dr. Antipas Harris, author of "Is Christianity the White Man's Religion? How the Bible is Good News for People of Color". Dr. Harris talks candidly about the perception that Christianity is detached from matters of justice, identity, and culture. He also looks at the ways in which American evangelicalism may have incubated the race problem.
