Dr. Philip G. Asante“The Truth About Racism” – Dr. Philip G. Asante
As the son of a black African father and white English mother, Dr. Philip Asante personally knows the emotions and injustice of racism.
In his new book, The Truth About Racism, Dr. Asante provides a scientifically supported perspective into the origins of racist ideology by exploring contributions from both Christianity and the theory of Evolution.
“Whether you believe in creation or evolution, all humanity is related,” Asante says. “The subject of racism is, of course, controversial and continuous in society and in the church.”
Asante, who is deeply passionate about ending modern racism, explains how the Bible was deliberately misinterpreted and abused in order to justify slavery, segregation, colonialism and apartheid.
He draws on research and scripture to offer a revealing look into the development of racism.
Dr. Asante has a doctorate in biblical studies, a master’s degree in business administration and a bachelor’s degree in pharmacy. He currently resides in South Wales with his wife and two grown children.
Dr. Asante will be live on our show today at 12 p.m. Eastern/9 a.m. Pacific.
