Historically, many churches and theologians defended and supported race-based slavery and subsequent forms of racial hierarchy and violence. The essays in Reparations and the Theological Disciplines argue that it is urgent that the theological disciplines engage the issue of reparations by revisiting Scripture and our theological traditions. The time is now for remembrance, reckoning, and repair.

Michael Barras is professor of theology and religious studies at Saint Mary’s College of California. Drew G. I. Hart is associate professor of theology at Messiah University and program director of Thriving Together Congregations for Racial Justice. Gimbiya Kettering is a writer and workshop leader whose work focuses on the intersections of race, religion, and political policy. Michael J. Rhodes is lecturer in Old Testament at Carey Baptist College.
