Incredibly well researched, and a honest self-giving look into the intersection of faith, racism, gender, and the impact of white, male, christianity on culture in the UK and around the world. Brilliantly, powerful, informed read.

I loved reading some of McDonald’s takes on the image of God as a white man, and what it means that God is perceived this way. I do wish this book would’ve been structured better. It began and ended with discussions on theology, but in the middle section McDonald delved into her own experiences and more general theories on racism. Many of these topics were, needless to say, very important, but I had really hoped the focus within this book would stay on theology, the church and racism. These topics now passed by as subtopics (a chapter on studying as a POC would briefly mention how theology is still dominated by white people, for example) but given the title and blurb I would’ve liked for them to take center stage more.

Chapter 7 was the highlight of this book for me!
