    Do White people bear moral responsibility for racial disparities? Are White Christians under a spiritual mandate to make racial equity a priority?Clifford Williams taught philosophy at Christian colleges for many years, including a course on race. He has journeyed alongside students as they gained insights about racism. In this book, he draws from deeply personal stories as he shows the need for White Christians to recognize the impact of racism and to cultivate key character traits which enable them to pursue racial equity.In succinct and thoughtful prose, interwoven with first-person accounts of racialized experiences by people of color, Williams describes the importance of the Golden Rule, the power and effects of racial socialization, and the harm racism does to those who harbor it. He asks the haunting question, ""Why do White people react so strongly to Black power?"" He explains why widespread church integration in the United States may never exist. He unpacks the concept of White identity and links police brutality to faulty moral perception.This book gently explains what White Christians need to do to make racial equity a priority.

    A challenging but much-needed book for Christians across a broad spectrum--from laypersons and students to pastors and Christian philosophers--Singleness of Heart systematically yet gently searches the secret places of the Christian heart, taking readers beyond the cursory acquaintance they often have with their own true selves and leading them to the healing power of God's grace and the single-minded pursuit of eternity.

    Tucked away in the complicated prose that fills many of Soren Kierkegaard''s books are numerous insightful declarations. They arrest the reader with their depth of understanding. They often are expressed in a lilting and lyrical manner. Encountering them makes working through the intricate prose eminently worthwhile.The Wisdom of Kierkegaard contains two hundred fifty such passages, chosen partly because of their ability to be understood apart from their context and partly because of their ability to provoke an ""Ah! That''s true"" response. Many of them contain a ""twist"" that imparts an incisive jab. Some are on themes for which Kierkegaard is well known, but many are on a variety of other significant themes. The passages are organized in alphabetical sections, which are introduced by a brief essay.""Here Clifford Williams, who is himself a fine philosopher, has judiciously selected a host of insightful, provocative, and sometimes humorous quotations from Kierkegaard. A fine introduction to Kierkegaard''s thought and a wonderful resource even for those who know Kierkegaard''s writing well. Williams reminds those of us who love Kierkegaard why we continue to do so.""--C. Stephen EvansUniversity Professor of Philosophy and HumanitiesBaylor UniversityClifford Williams teaches philosophy at Trinity College in Deerfield, Illinois. He is the author of Singleness of Heart: Restoring the Divided Soul (1994) and The Life of the Mind: A Christian Perspective (2002).

    SOren Kierkegaard''s Purity of Heart Is to Will One Thing is an astute analysis of inner dividedness. In this striking little book, Kierkegaard gently yet incisively specifies the precise forms it takes. Like many of SOren Kierkegaard''s books, however, Purity of Heart contains a good deal of formidable prose.The aim of The Divided Soul: A Kierkegaardian Exploration is to make Kierkegaard''s scrutiny of our inner terrain in Purity of Heart accessible and inviting. With clear, direct prose, Clifford Williams lays bare Kierkegaard''s discerning descriptions of the tension between a desire for goodness and resistance to goodness. Williams then reflects on themes arising from Kierkegaard''s conception of faith.""In this beautifully written little book, full of apt illustrations, Cliff Williams has made the riches of Kierkegaard''s thought about the divided self come alive for the ordinary reader. No one can read it without meeting him or herself again and again in its pages. For maximum profit, this book should be read slowly and reflectively, over a period of several days.""--Robert C. RobertsDistinguished Professor of EthicsBaylor UniversityClifford Williams teaches philosophy at Trinity College in Deerfield, Illinois. He is the author of Singleness of Heart: Restoring the Divided Soul (1994), The Life of the Mind: A Christian Perspective (2002), and The Wisdom of Kierkegaard: A Collection of Quotations on Faith and Life (2009).
