Uncovering the Roots of Injustice and Privilege
IS PRIVILEGE REAL OR IMAGINED ?
Issues of race and equality have come to the forefront in our nation’s consciousness. Depending on who you are or what you look like, you and your neighbor may have very different experiences in economic opportunity or public safety. What are the root causes of these inequities?
Ken Wytsma opens our eyes to realities we may have never realized were present in our society. He reveals what he has discovered about privilege as he has engaged with today’s race-related issues. And he helps us come to a deeper understanding of the reconciling role we are called to play as witnesses of the gospel.
Named by Publishers Weekly as one of the five best religion books of 2017.

“KEN WYTSMA is the kind of leader who offers real solutions toward social integration and racial reconciliation….The Myth of Equality is a genuine contribution for those of us looking for ways forward.”
SCOT McKNIGHT/Northern Seminary
“KEN WYTSMA is a white evangelical man from a conservative white evangelical world, and he is doing his homework on race….shared with humility, grace, and an unrelenting commitment to truth.”
LISA SHARON HARPER/author of The Very Good Gospel
“The Myth Of Equality is written so skillfully that it’s easy to miss how much it accomplishes….I predict that there will be more who are convinced and inspired by the patient, passionate, and nondefensive way in which Wytsma makes his case . It’s a book that someone had to write.”
