"This Side of Heaven is a major contribution to the study of race,
ethnicity, and religion. I found an incredible wealth of knowledge
and insight in the book's chapters. This is a book to use in
college and seminary courses, to read in your home, and to work
through in small groups. Be prepared for serious discussions, as
this volume if full of hard hitting chapters that cut to the core
of religion, race, and ethnicity. Strongly recommended."
--Michael
O. Emerson, co-author of Divided by Faith and United by Faith

multiculturalism and race because the authors combine thier social
science analysis with their theological viewpoints." --Contemporary

clarity, combining the realistic double edge of social analysis
with a courageous rereading of biblical texts and a hopeful
attitude in spite of discomforting facts. In short, this book
represents missiology at its best." --International Bulletin of
Missionary Research
