Review Quotes:

Wong's invitation is for Christians to resist justifying secular racist ideas using Christian doctrines, and instead to consider an embodied Jesus, grounded within his particularity as a Jewish Palestinian man. The reason why Disordered is so compelling is that Wong herself is also embodied in her narrative, as she makes explicit where she is coming from as a biracial woman from Texas, and threads her identity struggles through her argument.
