| Résumé: | This article argues that an attitude of whiteness characterizes conventional methodological approaches in the fields of theology and religion. Using examples drawn from the discipline of Christian theology, I contend that scholars have a responsibility to address white supremacy; I describe whiteness as an attitude and expose it in theological method by deploying the concept of racist thinking to analyze Terrence W. Tilley’s argument in The Disciples’ Jesus; and I compare M. Shawn Copeland’s Enfleshing Freedom as a work that exhibits antiracist thinking. Positing that the problem of whiteness pervades the disciplines of theology and religious studies generally, I conclude that, to construct adequate and relevant arguments, we must critically engage whiteness. |
