White Religion

Intimate and honest essays on motherhood, marriage, love, and acceptance. Brown White Black is a portrait of Nishta J. Mehra's family: her wife, who is White; her adopted child, Shiv, who is Black; and their experiences dealing with America's rigid ideas of race, gender, and sexuality.

Religious traditions in the United States are characterized by ongoing tension between assimilation to the broader culture and defiant rejection of cultural incursions. However, legal theorist and Catholic theologian Cathleen Kaveny contends there is a third possibility - a culture of engagement - that accommodates and respects tradition. It also recognizes the need to interact with culture to remain relevant and to offer critiques of social, political, legal, and economic practices.

Of all the biblical stories, none is more well-known—or misunderstood—than that of Jonah and the whale. This ancient tale of a prophet who runs from his call has been the source of countless sermons on obedience, theories about the judgment of God, and is even the namesake of a psychological diagnosis. Jesus used this story to illustrate his own resurrection and claimed to be Greater than Jonah.

Religion-related violence is the fastest spreading type of violence worldwide. Attacks on religious minorities follow a clear pattern and are preceded with early warning signs. Until now, such violence had no name, let alone a set of policies designed to identify and prevent it. A unique attempt to create a new moral and legal category alongside other forms of persecution and mass murder, Religicide explores the roots of atrocities such as the Armenian Genocide, the Holocaust, the Bosnian war, and other human rights catastrophes.

The enduring question has been: "Where did Cain get his wife?" The churches have not given an acceptable answer to this question. Their inability to answer this question creates great doubt as to the accuracy of the Bible. More and more Christians are giving up on defending the Bible. It is vitally important for Christians to be able to answer this question because it relates to defending the fact that all humans are descendants of Adam and Eve, and only their descendants can be saved. Cain's wife has been talked about in countries all over the world for hundreds of years.

So, you’ve probably heard that the Bible is “the white man’s religion”. Well, that’s not exactly true. It’s a blatantly false statement that has been embraced by uninformed people of all colors for far too long. The Bible is, in fact, an Afrocentric book and belief system, and I dare you to prove me wrong.

Why is it that some people show remarkable growth in their relationships with God, but others seem stuck? Is there a secret that some are in on and the rest have missed? Or has God provided wisdom and power for accelerated growth for every believer? In this book, Pastor Bill White answers those questions...and many more.

Do you often experience a sense of emotional overwhelm around people? Do just feel tired around people and feel the need to literally escape so that you can calm down? Do you feel other people’s emotions and energies (positive or negative) as if they are your own?

Andrea Logan White appeared to be living the American dream, or what many would call a perfect life. However, underneath the happy veneer of the model, actress, and producer was a subtle, caustic voice leading to emptiness and self-destruction.

Andrea's remarkable journey, which took her from hanging out in the Playboy mansion to finding God at a stoplight on Hollywood Boulevard, is not the whole story.

Pastor and author James Emery White leads his church and his life with a singular mission: to turn spiritual explorers into fully devoted followers of Christ. The obvious first step in this process is for someone to cross the line of faith - to say, "I believe." That was the heart behind his book Christianity for People Who Aren't Christians. But what comes after "I believe" is equally important, and it's the way someone truly becomes a fully devoted follower of Christ.

"What if you were just an ordinary housewife?" The question struck me at my core like a punch to the gut. It would take me 10 years, a career change, a divorce, a debilitating injury, and an intense inner emptiness that persisted no matter what my external circumstances, to answer.
