RECKONING with Race with Vince Bacote (ep. 22)

Listen Later

On this episode of the podcast, I am joined by Dr. Vince Bacote, a professor of theology and author. The conversation focuses on two recent pieces by Dr. Bacote: a chapter on Kuyper and Race in Calvinism for a Secular Age and a short book entitled Reckoning with Race and Performing the Good News. Among the topics we discuss:

  • Dr. Bacote's testimony of his encounter with Abraham Kuyper's theology and racism, marked by delight, dissonance, distress, and decision.
  • Why it is so important to listen to the testimonies of those who have struggled to reconcile evangelicalism's promise with its failures
  • Why Dr. Bacote has decided to stay within the evangelical movement and what resources are available for reckoning with race and renewing the movement
  • Why we must take culture seriously as we interpret Scripture
  • The most important resources from Kuyper and what other thinker Kuyperians should get to know.
