W. DON MCCLURE LECTURE IN WORLD MISSION AND EVANGELISM 

During the 2023 W. Don McClure Lecture in World Mission and Evangelism, Dr. Jonathan Tran presented the lecture "The Plenteous Harvest: How Identity Politics is Killing the Church, and How Theology Might Save Us Yet".

This lecture offers an account of race and racism based on identity politics, offers an alternative account based on political economy, and relates the political economy of racial capitalism to a rival political economy, God’s “deep economy” incarnated in the local church's liberative politics.
