That They May Be One

Part One of this landmark book is the author's creative synthesis of research and writing worldwide on the nature of race and racism and insights from philosophers, ethicists, and social thinkers on this problem and its attendant, equally pernicious outliers, tribalism and xenophobia. Part one is shaped to be the single best book available for courses on racism. Part Two is a collection of both full and partial texts of documents from both papal and conciliar Catholic teaching and from documents on the same subject authored by bishops and church bodies from Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America, North America, and Oceania. Each document has a pithy introduction and, whenever they are available an internet address (URL), where the full text and related materials can be found.
