      In the wake of Steve Rogers' tragic death, Bucky Barnes wields the shield and succeeds his fallen friend as Captain America! Agent 13. Bucky Barnes. The Falcon. Black Widow. Iron Man. Steve Rogers was often the glue that bound these heroes together in a common cause. Now, still mourning his loss, they come together again in a desperate attempt to keep his dream alive. But the collapse of Steve's dream was just the first step in the wicked machinations of the Red Skull, who is determined to see the death of America follow soon after the death of the Captain. As the Skull's master plan kicks into motion and chaos begins to take hold of the United States, only one man stands in its way -- but is he up to the task? In his first major trial as the new Captain America, he will be rocked by a villain from his past -- both as Bucky in WWII and as the Winter Soldier during the Cold War -- and he'll have to face his history just as he's finding his feet in the present.

      How curiously different is this white God from the one preached by Jesus, who understood faithfulness through our treatment of the hungry, thirsty, naked, alien, incarcerated, and infirm. This white God of empire suits global conquerors who benefit from stolen resources and the labor of those deemed inferior; however, such a deity can never represent the God of the conquered. Echoing James Cone's assertion that white Christianity is a satanic heresy, Miguel De La Torre argues that whiteness has corrupted Jesus' message. He critiques how white American Christians have allied with oppressors, subjugating the "least of these"—those marginalized by race, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status. He highlights the overwhelming support for an antichrist president, who has exposed the deep-seated bigotry in American society. In this follow-up to Burying White Privilege, De La Torre outlines the need to decolonize Christianity and reclaim its revolutionary essence. He rejects timid white liberalism as mere complicity and, drawing from the parable of the sheep and the goats in Matthew, calls for unapologetic solidarity with the sheep and a firm rejection of the idolatrous Christianity of whiteness.
