Original titleShattering the Myth of Race: Genetic Realities and Biblical Truths
Does "race" really matter? Seeking to establish that human beings are overwhelmingly similar when it comes to genetic make-up, Unander, an honored geneticist, argues that the term "race" implies greater differences among groups of human beings than is supported by the genetic evidence. Exploring the history of how science has been abused to justify racism, this astonishing new book weaves together science and history to offer foundations for biblical and theological perspectives on questions of "race." Unander's goal is to increase the reader's appreciation, both theologically and scientifically, for the unity of all humanity.
