Review Quotes:
"In Sheep's Clothing is a collection of compelling essays that dig at the roots of white Christian nationalism. Especially in this threatening moment of American history, with Christianity occupying center stage, George Yancy and Bill Bywater have drawn together well-researched, intelligent resources that revolutionary lovers of justice can turn to repeatedly for moral and political wisdom. I know I will." --Carter Heyward, Professor Emerita of Theology, Episcopal Divinity School, and author of The Seven Deadly Sins of White Christian Nationalism: A Call to Action
"The violence unleashed in attempting to forcefully install a white Christian nationalist nation will only intensify as those in sheep's clothing continue in normalizing and legitimizing their idolatry. This volume provides a much-needed critical assessment for such a time as this. A must read for all interested in standing against this clear and present danger." --Miguel A. De La Torre, professor, Illiff School of Theology
