Unique among the many concepts used to discuss diversity, Creoleness is forged in the context of injustice, oppression, and empire. To become like Creoles is to envision a future marked by the interplay between cultural diversity, injustice and oppression, and intersectionality. People of faith must embrace such metaphors to be relevant and effective for ministry in the twenty-first century.

By bringing biblical exposition into conversation with cultural research, Becoming Like Creoles seeks to awaken and prepare followers of Jesus to live and minister in a world of persistent injustice and rapidly increasing cultural diversity. This book will equip readers to become culturally competent and social-justice focused, whether they are emerging from a history of injustice or are heirs of privilege.

"Becoming Like Creoles presents a uniquely biblical model for our interracial/intercultural future that offers new life for both the oppressed and the oppressor in a rehumanized community."

- Randy Woodley, Indigenous speaker and author

"As personal narratives weave into biblical and theological understandings of justice, this profoundly important and insightful book challenges us to rethink and reimagine a just world."

- Grace Ji-Sun Kim, Earlham School of Religion
