![]() ![]() In The Coming Race Wars: A Cry for Justice, from Civil Rights to Black Lives Matter, Pannell revisits his provocative message with an expanded edition that connects its message to current events. Some would even argue that the "race war" has arrived. Now, nearly thirty years later, his words are as timely as ever. Back then, Pannell was among a scant number of Black evangelical leaders who called the evangelical church to account on issues of racial justice. With his blunt assessment of our social condition, Pannell's 1993 book sparked controversy. In The Coming Race Wars? he meticulously unpacked reasons why our nation-and the church-needed to come to terms with our complicity in America's racial transgressions before we face a more dire reckoning. In the wake of the 1992 Los Angeles riots, Fuller Seminary theologian William Pannell decried the then-popular sentiment among white evangelicals that racism was no longer an urgent matter. ![]()
