“Sarah Shin does what no one else has been able to do: connect a clear gospel summary with our stories of ethnic identity and reconciliation. I hope that not only all campus ministers in the country, but every student leader in the country, will read this book. I can’t remember the last time I was so expectant for an upcoming book to arrive.”
Doug Schaupp, national director of evangelism, InterVarsity Christian Fellowship/USA, coauthor of Breaking the Huddle
“This is groundbreaking work: first, it highlights how a lack of ethnic identity is a barrier to being effective witnesses, and then it calls all people to ethnic identity, awareness, healing, and reconciliation through the gospel. It’s brilliant and it’s good news!”
James Choung, author of True Story and Real Life
“How might Christian communities break away from the powerful grip of a colorblind narrative? By challenging Christians to reinterpret the significance and meaning of ethnicity through the lens of the good news of Jesus, this timely work points to a clear pathway forward that is biblical, pastoral, and prophetic. I strongly recommend Sarah Shin’s work to all Christians who seek to better understand how our Christian and ethnic identities intersect in today’s multicultural world.”
Peter Cha, professor, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School
“In Beyond Colorblind, Sarah Shin offers us a personal and practical resource as we explore the issues of ethnicity, race, and diversity in our fractured world. This important book will prod at your heart at times, perhaps challenging you to reflect on your own assumptions. But it also serves to equip you — as a friend or neighbor, as a church or community leader, in work or in love. With humility, wisdom, and compassion, Sarah calls us to ‘become ethnicity aware in order to address the beauty and brokenness in our ethnic stories and the stories of others.’ Essential reading for today.”
