Review:

Coming Together: The Bible's Message In An Age Of Diversity is a unique resource that works toward reconciliation by addressing racial and cultural diversity from a biblical perspective. Building on the insights of scholars from the major cultural and racial groups around the world, Curtis DeYoung explores the cultural diversity found within the pages of the Bible. DeYoung examines the racial and cultural background of Jesus and critically examines Jesus' universal presence as the risen Christ. In addition, he illustrates some of the different ways that people of color interpret the Bible and shows how these understandings not only can intersect with traditional European perspectives but can also be helpful in presenting biblical truths. Coming Together surveys what the Bible has to say about racism, sexism, and classism. Coming Together is an essential primer and a highly recommended addition to any personal, church or seminary library Biblical or multicultural collection. -- Midwest Book Review
