About This Book

Violence against ethnic minorities is a recurring theme in human history. The God of the Bible, however, is a God of the marginalized, the powerless, and the overlooked. To be a minority is to inhabit the heart of God's story not its fringes.In this book, Dr. Sunday Bobai Agang addresses the discrimination, oppression, and violence facing minorities in Africa and the church's calling to stand against such injustice. Drawing upon covenantal theology and the biblical motif of a remnant, Agang explores God's heart for those commonly devalued, silenced, excluded, and ignored. While our human societies are obsessed with power and might, God's economy is one where the first are last and the weak confound the strong. This book is a powerful reminder of the source of true identity and the foundation for lasting peace and human flourishing.
