A Many Colored Kingdom explores Christian formation and teaching in the church, with a particular focus on intercultural and interethnic relationships.

Well qualified to speak on issues of diversity. The authors describe relevant aspects of their own personal journeys, presented in compelling narrative form. They go on to identify key issues emerging from their Scripture studies and teaching experiences. A final chapter contains a conversation among the authors as they respond to one another’s insights and concerns.

A Many Colored Kingdom is a creative, well researched, and biblically and theologically grounded work. This cooperative effort of three rising scholars in Christian education provides new insights for both theory and practice in global perspective. The book is a pathbreaking work for the mission of faithfully honoring and fostering the multicultural kingdom of God in our churches, classrooms, and communities. It sets a high standard for future scholarship and deserves to be widely read.–Robert W. Pazmiño, Andover Newton Theological School

Prejudice and racism are critical issues facing the church in North America. How it deals with these will profoundly affect its witness in an increasingly divided and polarizing world. The authors of this book take important first steps in helping us listen to one another and think biblically about the issues that divide us. We must begin to live the gospel in our relationships, for this is a powerful testimony to the transforming power of God to make us a new people united in love.–Paul G. Hiebert, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School
