Ben Chang’s new book Christ and the Culture Wars aims to help Christians speak for Jesus in an increasingly divisive world. Heather Tomlinson says that although the ideas aren’t new, they may prove useful for those who are new to the subject of identity politics

Few people disagree with the idea that women, racial minorities, transgender and gay people should be treated well and not discriminated against. But today’s debate has gone much further than that, as Ben Chang describes in his book.

Now, the discussion around these issues includes claims of the intrinsic injustices of our societies and their “structures”: for example “white privilege” and the “patriarchy” that oppress ethnic minorities and women. Radical change is prescribed.
