"Wong's book is a delightful contribution to the emerging conversation on the intersection of religion and race in North America. Not only for scholars, teachers and students of theological education, but also for ordained and lay church leaders, Wong's deeply theological account of western Europe and North America's long history and practice of racial discrimination make it a must-read, especially for white readers. While this book can certainly speak to a larger audience, Wong's Disordered is a compelling introductory book on theology of race for white Christian readers who might be in the process of making sense of the Christian religion's worship of 'white Jesus' and its role in sustaining the modern racial optic. --Eunil David Cho ""Scottish Journal of Theology"" Wong's invitation is for Christians to resist justifying secular racist ideas using Christian doctrines, and instead to consider an embodied Jesus, grounded within his particularity as a Jewish Palestinian man. The reason why Disordered is so compelling is that Wong herself is also embodied in her narrative, as she makes explicit where she is coming from as a biracial woman from Texas, and threads her identity struggles through her argument. --Ann Gillian Chu ""Christianity Next"""
