Summary
In the sixteenth century， the church faced a doctrinal crisis。 Today， the crisis is race。
We all know that racial unity is important。 But what’s the right way to approach it？ How can Christians of different ethnicities pursue unity in an environment that is so highly charged and full of landmines on all sides？
In The New Reformation， Christian hip-hop artist Shai Linne shows how the gospel applies to the pursuit of ethnic unity。 When it comes to ethnicity， Christians today have to fight against two tendencies: idolatry and apathy。 Idolatry makes ethnicity ultimate， while apathy tends to ignore it altogether。 But there is a third way， the way of the Bible。 Shai explains how ethnicity—the biblical word for what we mean by “race”—exists for God’s glory。
Drawing from his experience as an artist-theologian， church planter， and pastor， Shai will help you chart a new way forward in addressing the critical question of what it means for people of all ethnicities to be the one people of God。

Christian， you should read this book。 If you have not read a book on racial reconciliation then definitely begin with this one。 Here is why:1。 Shai Linne is very theological。 He roots his responses and applications in the gospel。2。 Linne is very generous with those with whom he disagrees。 He has had feet planted in both the black church and the Reformed white church。 He understands the responses of people in both。 If you are thinking it as you read his book， he has heard it - and he understands Christian， you should read this book。 If you have not read a book on racial reconciliation then definitely begin with this one。 Here is why:1。 Shai Linne is very theological。 He roots his responses and applications in the gospel。2。 Linne is very generous with those with whom he disagrees。 He has had feet planted in both the black church and the Reformed white church。 He understands the responses of people in both。 If you are thinking it as you read his book， he has heard it - and he understands what and why you are thinking it。3。 Linne tells his own story and puts flesh on what for some can feel very abstract and distant。 You will empathize with him as you read and I think that will go a long way toward understanding the issues better。Look for a Food Trucks in Babylon interview with Shai Linne when the book releases。 。。。more
