How do we remain faithful to and work within a Christian church that has been historically complicit in racism and that still exhibits racist actions in its communal life? While there have been numerous recent accounts addressing why the Christian church of the West is marked by racism and whiteness, there has been less attention given to how we reconcile the churchs racial inequities with the belief that God works through Gods people.In Bonhoeffer and the Racialized Church, Ross Halbach seeks to reframe the question within Dietrich Bonhoeffers conception of the 'ultimate and penultimate.' Bonhoeffers acute sense of Gods continual speaking offers a prophetic challenge to the church: instead of masking the realities of racial sin or pursuing easy resolution, we must confront the full consequences of whiteness in repentant expectation of Christs coming. Halbach places the writings of Bonhoeffer into dialogue with the contemporary writings of Willie Jennings, J. Kameron Carter, and Brian Bantum, allowing these various perspectives to augment one another. This approach gives new clarity to present theological discussions of race through a consideration of Gods regenerative work.Discussions of race must move from seeking a diagnosis to exploring a dialogue that delves deeper into the issue. Racism is not a question to be answered but a resistance that hinders the church from hearing Gods present call, which is given to the body of Christ through baptism and Eucharist. The churchs response to Gods call is found not in the assurance of a solution but in the obedient act of the churchs participation with Christ in preparing the way for the church to hear how the triune God has already spoken and continues to speak today.
