The focus of the abstract is first seen as the narrator describes his idea as, "haunting him day and night"(226). Only an obsessed perso .....

.... America’s race problem. She argues that, yes, there is a problem concerning race in America and the only way that it will eventually be solved is by the power and grace of God. Until He intervenes, Americans must stand ready and be prepared to go to battle with racism. She argues that racism is un-Christian in practice although it may be justified by certain ideologies. The only measure of Christianity however, is the activities people engage in, not their prayers, hymns, or Sunday services. This approach to Christianity differs from previous writers in this course (although it bears some resemblance to Douglass) because Co .....
