Critical Race Theory and Christianity: Examining Its Philosophy and Practical Fruit

In this post, J.R. Miller recalls a talk he gave in the fall of 2021 at “An Evening on Mars Hill,” a philosophical and scientific gathering sponsored by North Coast Chapel in California. The event aims to be salt and light, seeking to transform the world through the love of Christ. The talk was titled “4 Facets of Critical Race Theory and Christianity: The Philosophy and the Fruit.”

According to the post, the talk examined Critical Race Theory through a Christian lens, looking at both its philosophical origins and its practical consequences. The central question was whether CRT’s emphasis on group identity and the dismantling of social structures helps or hinders the gospel’s mission of reconciliation. The post presents this as a question for careful reflection rather than a settled verdict.

The page also points to a study guide designed to help readers work through the talk and to support thoughtful small-group discussion, with the aim of encouraging clear thinking and meaningful conversation. The post’s other linked items, including a podcast episode and a statement on race, justice, and unity, appear as separate resources.
