In this prophetic collection of seminal essays and articles, the public intellectual, theologian, and social justice scholar Reverend Professor Keith Magee provides a thoughtful, sharp, and critical analysis of how questions of race, religion, and politics have an impact on society today. The book explores the historical context of American democracy and how it has long failed to deliver true justice to all of the nation's citizens. Prophetic Justice exposes the social construct of race and the myriad ways in which this false idea - along with the sometimes wilful misinterpretations of sacred texts - have been used to justify the subjugating of one people by another, simply because of the color of their skin. Written between 2016 and 2023, these essays and articles touch on some painful subjects, but also give us reason to hope. Keith Magee describes how, with empathy, courage, and faith, we can come together to face up to the injustices of the past and celebrate our common humanity, thus creating a new world in which every life truly matters.
