Reviews

Although racism impacts us profoundly, it remains a sensitive and polarizing topic that is difficult to broach in many faith communities. Conor Kelly provides an opening. Drawing from the traditional frameworks and resources of Catholic moral theology, he supplies an introduction to the social dimensions of racism. Racism and Structural Sin is both nuanced and accessible, useful for faith formation as well the seminary, undergraduate, and high school classroom. Joseph S. Flipper, Mary Ann Spearin Chair of Catholic Theology, University of Dayton

"""Conor M. Kelly's book stands out for clarity, simplicity, and accessibility; and it remarkably engages our daily experiences on racial inequality in America. He weaves with absolute plainness both personal, and social experiences with theological propositions and church teachings, drawing the reader into personal commitment to human dignity and the common good. This is the book for instruction and faith formation.""
