Sacred Anthropology

Church Leadership & Ministry

“In this interdisciplinary study, Tyshawn Gardner brings together the mind of an anthropologist, the heart of an advocate for justice, and the soul of a caring preacher to expose and eradicate the root causes of the perennial problems plaguing US society. For those for whom God is the source and summit of every stride to tear down the unjust systems of our times, this is your book. For those who seek to give voice to pain beyond generalities and to offer a brand of prophetic proclamation that is informed by grassroots activism, this is your book. For those who have never welcomed the idea that we can wage a war against physical, structural, and cultural forms of violence by demonizing and deriding those with whom we disagree, this is your book. For those in the pulpit and the pew who are looking for spiritual disciplines that will sustain them in their struggles for justice and thus not let them 'grow weary in well-doing,' this is your book.”
