"The
radical message of the early racial reconciliation leaders, by the time
it got to white, grassroots evangelicals, was minimized to little more
than having respect for people of other races, or having a cross-race
friendship. When a more radical message is pushed, as the leader of
Promise Keepers, Bill McCatney, observed, the walls go up, and those in
the conservative Christian subculture tune him out." --Divided by Faith

"Many
view Gal 3:28 as the egalitarian counterpart to 1 Tim 2:11-12, but the
two passages function differently. 1 Tim 2:11-12 speaks directly to
ecclesial roles, and a conclusion about ecclesial roles can be formed
directly from the passage...Interpreters draw different conclusions from
1 Tim 2:11-12 only because they interpret the passage differently...Gal
3:28 does not operate in this way; rather, some intervening logical
premise must be supplied to draw a conclusion about ecclesial roles.
Interpreters [Egalitarian and Complementarian] draw different
conclusions from Gal 3:28 because they supply different premises."
--Douglas Walker's Dissertation from Trinity Divinity school
"The
power of the media lies not only in their ability to reflect the
dominant racial ideology, but in their capacity to shape that ideology
in the first place." --Rethinking the Color Line p20
"We
need, therefore, to ask whether sometimes--I don't say
always--fundamentalism is a defense of a postbiblical interpretation
rather than a willingness to go back to the text and be led by it."
--Howard Marshal, Beyond the Bible p31-32
