On November 12, 2021 Dr. Joseph R. Miller presented this talk at the Mars Hill forum of Northeast Calvary Chapel in California. Dr. Miller unpacked the philosophical underpinnings of Critical Race Theory (CRT) by analyzing its impact on contemporary social and political discourse. He argues that CRT, while often presented as a tool for combating racism, ultimately promotes a worldview that is fundamentally incompatible with Christian values, relying on a nihilistic outlook and an emphasis on group identity rather than individual worth. Dr. Miller highlights the core tenets of CRT, including its rejection of objective truth and its tendency to view all social interactions as power struggles, ultimately leading to a worldview where conflict and division are inevitable. He contends that the Bible offers a counter-narrative to CRT, emphasizing individual worth and unity in Christ, offering a solution to the problem of racism through love and reconciliation.
