After answering the question What is racism? at some length, Massingale delves into Catholic history on the issue, taking apart three documents on racial justice from the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops in 1958, 1968, and 1979. Although he says the last two improved on the first, which offered nothing in the way of recommendations for action, none was marked by the depth of social analysis found in many of the bishops' other social justice documents. To improve Catholic engagement in racial justice, Massingale proposes using such resources of the tradition as the practice of lament, compassion, solidarity, conversion, baptism, and Eucharist.

From this perspective he addresses these basic questions: What does Christianity intend to reveal? What message does it bring to human beings? For believers, how does it reveal God--and how is God revealed in it?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSituating the story of Jesus in the immense history of the cosmos, Boff shows how Divine Mystery seeks us out and makes itself known.

What emerges is a portrait of peacemaking as a spiritual practice that can guide the lives of faithful people seeking peace in their lives and in the world.
