The Rev. Dr. Willie Jennings participated in this online discussion of his book "The Christian Imagination: Theology and the Origins of Race" on December 15, 2020. Called "a ground-breaking, magisterial account of the potential and failures of Christianity since the colonialist period," the award-winning book takes up the question, Why has Christianity, a religion premised upon neighborly love, failed in its attempts to heal social divisions? The Rev. Dr. Jennings, previously a professor at Duke Divinity School, is an ordained Baptist minister and associate professor of systematic theology and Africana studies at Yale Divinity School.
