Summary:	"At a moment of notably rising levels of anti-Asian hate, Embodying Antiracist Christianity presents anti-racist resources informed by Asian/American feminist theology, ethics, and biblical scholarship. In the current political climate, racial conflict and heightened anti-Asian hate since the COVID outbreak, which all intersect with gender and sexuality-based violence and class division, require theological, moral, historical, and political inquiries through critical lenses. This book examines the multiple facets of racism from Asian/American feminist theological perspectives. Diverse Asian/American feminist scholars of critical Christian Studies make a concerted effort to interrogate and dismantle anti-Asian racism, co-constitutive with various structural forms of violence. The contributors highlight the necessity of cross-racial solidarity for just racial relations, as anti-Asian racism is inseparable from anti-Black racism and settler colonialism that have often undermined the communal spirit and livelihood of Christian churches. Readers will appreciate the book's inter-transdisciplinary approaches to dismantling racist theological teachings and biblical interpretations, white Christian nationalism, and American exceptionalism, along with revitalizing the Christian church's power-with leadership structure and antiracist practices."--Back cover.
