Leroy Hill argues that the Bible is sufficient to address racial inequities and that critical race theory (CRT) is ultimately harmful, despite its potential usefulness as an analytical tool. He contends that CRT, as a feature of critical theory, seeks to dismantle existing systems and, in doing so, undermines Christian values and institutions. Hill presents a biblical framework for understanding creation, the fall, and redemption, asserting that God's plan for redemption and reconciliation through Jesus Christ provides a more effective way to address racism than CRT's focus on systemic analysis. He emphasizes the sufficiency of scripture in guiding Christians towards righteous actions and argues that embracing the Bible as the ultimate source of truth and guidance will equip believers to live in love and combat racism effectively.
