What is an extremist for love and why is "extremism" necessary for enacting social justice? This week, I invited J.T. Young on the pod beyond pod to find out. We talk about his book, racial justice, and the meaning of activism in the contemporary world.

Extremists for Love: A Theological Introduction to the Struggle for Racial Justice in America "gives readers a critical overview of twenty central figures from the history of the black liberation struggle in the United States, exposing the theological trappings of their work and what they mean for the church today."
