Three-Fifths THEOLOGY
Challenging Racism in American Christianity
Lewis T. Tait, Jr. and A. Christian van Gorder

Is there need for another book focused on African American and Euro-American intercultural relationships? Three-Fifths Theology is a unique book in that two authors from different intellectual perspectives share an important perspective with one goal in mind. The term "Three-Fifths Theology"  is a term that the authors have used to describe the way aberrant American Christianity often supports status quo injustices because it is founded in cultural contexts and political assumptions that are racist. Its roots are deep in American history and religious social structures. The authors trace how "three fifths theology" has allowed de facto segregations to flourish at the expense of Biblical Christian unity.
