Racism, Misogyny, and the What the Bible Really Teaches | Abdu Murray

In this insightful episode, we delve into the historical and modern perceptions of Christianity, specifically addressing the accusations of it being oppressive and a "white man's religion." Our guest, Abdu Murray, an author, apologist, and former litigator, shares his extensive knowledge and perspective on these critical issues.

We explore the antebellum Southern slavery, the transatlantic slave trade, and how religion has been misused to justify evil. Abdu discusses his latest book, More Than a White Man’s Religion, which tackles the attacks on Christianity’s morality and truthfulness. We also examine the shift in cultural questions from "Is Christianity true?" to "Is Christianity good?"

Through engaging dialogue, we address whether the Bible advocates for equality and how it has historically been misrepresented. Abdu provides compelling arguments and evidence that Christianity, when understood in its full context, is the foundation for concepts of equality and justice.

Finally, we discuss the way forward, emphasizing the importance of listening, acknowledging historical pains, and embodying the sacrificial love of Jesus Christ to bring hope and reconciliation in our communities.

Join us for a thought-provoking conversation that challenges preconceived notions and offers a hopeful vision rooted in the Christian faith.
