In this podcast, we have a conversation with Kathryn Gin Lum about her new book, “Heathen: Religion and Race in American History.” The book argues how the religious idea of the heathen undergirds American conceptions of race. While the term “heathen” fell out of common use by the early 1900s, the term’s influence on racial categories persists today.
The newly expanded Center for Asian American Christianity at Princeton Theological Seminary comes at a critical time in the life of Asian America. Asian Americans are the fastest-growing racial-ethnic demographic in the United States. The COVID-19 pandemic has revealed the persistence of anti-Asian racism. Moreover, minority and immigrant churches are poised to transform the face of Christianity in the United States in the next few decades. The Center for Asian American Christianity seeks to equip and empower the next generation of Asian American leaders for service in church, society, and academy.
