History & Biography

“Dr. Rufus Burrow, Jr. has written a probing and passionate inquiry about interracial unity in the Church of God Reformation Movement. His focus on race relations centers on the cardinal theological stance of the Church of God tenets of holiness and unity. He raises salient questions about the connection between principles, attitudes, and practices as they relate to the doctrine of Christian unity. His significant treatise on the course and path of interracial relationships is coupled with a call for renewed engagement on the part of whites and blacks toward realization of a unity that is both theologically and visibly practiced in the life of the church. Burrow's repetitive emphasis on holiness and visible unity brings one again and again to his core concerns and his passionate pleas.”
