Episode 52: God is not a White Man, redeeming evangelicalism with Chine McDonald


Listen Later

White supremacy, the assumption of white superiority and white normalcy, as well as patriarchy and what the hell might be wrong with evangelicalism. We tackle these and other thorny topics with writer, broadcaster, Greenbelt Trustee and Christian Aid Head of Public Engagement, Chine McDonald.

We also talk:

  • 'Pretty Jesus' and the othering of God
  • Why Margaret Thatcher wasn't great despite being a woman
  • Whether writers are worth as much as designers
  • Gay TikTok (a LOT)
  • Whether evangelicalism can be redeemed or whether it can be chucked in the bin
  • How to be an ally

You can get Chine's book God is Not a White Man in all good bookstores (and as an audiobook).

Visit ChineMcDonald.com for more about what Chine is doing and more of her work.

Christian Aid is an excellent charity doing a lot of good in the world. Check Christian Aid out here.

We don't really want to preach at you, but some people like to know what we believe. It's this: Jesus Christ is the Son of God and came to teach us a better way to be while reconciling us to God and each other in a way we could never do without Him. He also changed water into wine. Nice.
