Christianity is the most popular religion in America. Yet despite its popularity, it was never intended to be a "white man's" religion. Antipas L. Harris explores how the Bible can speak to people of color and do so with great power and truth. Harris' first book, "Is Christianity White?" examined the roots of white supremacy in Christianity from Jesus to Martin Luther King Jr., by highlighting how different cultures often misunderstand key passages.
What does it mean for a religion to be white? Christianity is often referred to as the white man's religion because it was created by, and has been supported by, Europeans.

Harris's book Is Christianity the White Man's Religion?, he argues that Christianity is more than just a European-created religion.
The most significant point that Antipas L. Harris makes in his book is that the gospel of Jesus Christ is good news for people of color. In this audiobook download, Quinn delivers a powerful reminder of Christianity's true message and purpose.
Author Antipas L. Harris takes a look at the history of Christianity and finds that it has always been and remains an institution with a deep, long-held commitment to whiteness. Although Christianity's message is good news for people of color, many people of color still experience many unique struggles because of being part of an historically marginalized group. He also finds that the Bible is not inherently oppressive despite the fact that many white people have been using it as a means to justify their oppression and marginalization.
