TAKING APART BOOTSTRAP THEOLOGY

Gospel of Generosity and Justice

Author Terrell Carter unites scholarly critique with practical wisdom in this new book that exposes the racist and classist assumptions entangled in the rugged individualism of what he calls “bootstrap theology.” Dismantling both the impossible idiom of “pulling yourself up by your own bootstraps” and the social theory of Marx’s Protestant Work Ethic, Carter challenges the reader to advance a more faithful gospel, one that extends a spirit of generosity and a call to social justice for all God’s people.

The Bible, the Constitution, and Racism in America

What will it take to reclaim the transforming and affirming power of God and government to secure liberty and justice for all?
