Summary of Jemar Tisby's The Color of Compromise EPUB

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

Book Preview: #1 The bombing of Sixteenth Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama, killed four young girls, and injured at least twenty others. It was a turning point in Charles Morgan Jr. ’s life, as he realized that he was complicit in the state of race relations in Birmingham.

#2 The Color of Compromise is about telling the truth so that reconciliation - robust, consistent, and honest - might occur across racial lines. However, many Christians try to bypass the truth-telling process in their haste to achieve reconciliation.

#3 Racism is a system of oppression based on race. It is not only personal bigotry toward someone of a different race that constitutes racism, but also the imposition of bigoted ideas on groups of people.

#4 The Color of Compromity is an introduction to the history of racism in the American church, and how it has shaped Christianity in the United States. It highlights several prominent figures and events, but does not cover every single person and event that has shaped American Christianity over the past centuries.
