Divine Rage: Malcolm X's Challenge to Twentieth Century Christians
Malcolm X threw down the gauntlet on religion and violence. Did Christianity have nothing more to offer, he asked, than spiritual "novocaine," enabling Black Americans to suffer peacefully? On the face of it, this critique--religion as opiate of the masses--was nothing new, but in other ways Malcolm X's challenge was strikingly novel. He straightforwardly gave voice to the anger and frustration many Blacks felt over the expectation, in the words of Joseph Washington, Jr., that, unlike white Americans, they were supposed to respond to violence with "superhuman" calm and forgiveness. And unlike other critics of Christianity, Malcolm did not reject the imaginative power of religion to inspire political action. Instead, he told a different story about God's role in the struggle for justice than the one voiced by major organizations in the civil rights movement.

The Writing on the Wall
How can people of faith connect their religious traditions with the rise of overtly fascist violence in the United States? That's the question this book takes up. With first-hand accounts from the largest white supremacist gathering in modern American history at Unite the Right in Charlottesville, Virginia, it shares how the clergy resisting Nazis and the KKK point a way forward for Christians in particular. But The Writing on the Wall expands outward to ask what churches can learn from antifascists, Black Lives Matter, and those working on the ground to combat the continuing coalition of far-right militias and gangs that promise to endure with or without Trump in office. In the wake of a deadly Capitol insurrection robed in Christian imagery, this book invites the faithful to imagine a counter-witness that does more than merely preach against hate. Using biblical exegesis, storytelling, interviews, thought experiments, art, and theology, The Writing on the Wall explores how we can rethink notions of civil disobedience, nonviolence, love, prayer, and liturgy to enflesh a worthy faith in the face of a fascist creep.
