From scholarly monographs to papal homilies, Joseph Ratzinger has insisted consistently over decades that Christianity is not a set of ideas to believe or, even less, moral laws to follow. Rather, Christianity is about a person and our encounter with that person.In The Word Made Love, Christopher Collins identifies in the structure of Ratzingers thought the presentation of God as one who speaks and who ultimately speaks Himself in the person of Jesus Christ. Humanitys posture before God is one of hearing and responding. For Ratzinger, then, dialogue is the basic structure of all reality, and the Christian Vision articulates the radical transformation that happens when we enter into this divine dialogue. Collins argues that this dialogical, communicative structure is a distinctive aspect of Ratzingers thought and a unique contribution to the renewal of theology in our day.

White Evolution recounts the historical movement toward supremacy and casts the possibility of a White evolution toward racial justice through collective critical consciousness.

In White Jesus: The Architecture of Racism in Religion and Education, we conceive White Jesus as a socially constructed apparatus-a mythology that animates the architecture of salvation-that operates stealthily as a veneer for patriarchal White supremacist, capitalist, and imperialist sociopolitical, cultural, and economic agendas.

White Out: Understanding White Privilege and Dominance in the Modern Age is about the role of Whiteness and a defense of White dominance in an increasingly diverse society.
