Contemporary Christian Culture: Messages, Missions and Dilemmas is an important volume particularly at a time when our nation continues to wrestle with historical and contemporary implications of its original sin of racism. Omotayo Banjo and Kesha Morant Williams along with a robust group of scholars critically examine mediated messages and media ownership, production, and dissemination practices that illustrate a fluid understanding of race and the Christian faith. This volume brilliantly engages contemporary Christian discourses of race and diversity within the post-Obama and Black Lives Matter era in a meaningful way that makes it a must read for scholars, religious leaders, and students.
