Race, Church, and Society by Dr. Frank Smith

Late last month, Dr. Frank Smith, author of the first history of the PCA who is currently an RPCNA minister pastoring an inner-city mission church in Atlanta, GA, published Race, Church, and Society, which aims to provide a conservative evangelical perspective on race. Dr. Frank Smith’s views are in line with the views of Dr. Morton H. Smith, whom F&H has previously covered. Moved to write by the absurd events of last summer, he defends the moral permissibility of societal segregation, seeing it as a matter of practical wisdom rather than an issue predetermined by Scripture. Please see below the table of contents and how you can order a copy.

    Remember the days of old; consider the years of many generations; ask your father, and he will show you, your elders, and they will tell you. When the Most High gave to the nations their inheritance, when he divided mankind, he fixed the borders of the peoples according to the number of the sons of God. - Deuteronomy 32:7-8
