Fresh Take: Esau McCaulley, "How Far To The Promised Land"
How can we talk about America\u2019s ongoing legacy of racism without sliding into despair? In his new memoir HOW FAR TO THE PROMISED LAND, Esau McCaulley tells his own story\u2014and questions why Black failure is judged collectively, while Black success is perceived as the merit of an individual.\nRev. Esau McCaulley, PhD, is an author and associate professor of New Testament at Wheaton College. His work has been published in The New York Times,\xa0The Atlantic, the\xa0Washington Post,\xa0and\xa0Christianity Today.\nEsau and Amy discuss:\n\nWhy "escaping poverty" is a misleading term\n\nHow experiences that set the context for heroic bravery also create the possibility for failure\n\nWhat caused Esau to change his definition of justice\n\n\nHere's where you can find Esau:\n\nwww.esaumccaulley.com\n\n@OfficialEsauMcCaulley on Facebook\n\n@esaumccaulley on Twitter on Instagram\n\nBuy HOW FAR TO THE PROMISED LAND: https://bookshop.org/a/12099/9780593241080\n\n\n\nWe love the sponsors that make this show possible!
