Biblical framework: impartiality in judgment (no favoritism for rich or poor), all humans of one blood in God's image, individual sin/accountability, Scripture as the authority over lived experience. CRT is incompatible with Christianity on every core tenet.
The biblical response to CRT
Biblical principles that conflict with CRT: (1) Impartiality — don't favor the rich or the poor (Leviticus 19:15); CRT demands favoring marginalized groups. (2) Individual accountability — the Bible evaluates people individually, not by group identity. (3) All of one blood/image of God (Acts 17:26) — equal dignity regardless of race, but also all equally sinners needing a Savior. (4) Scripture is the ultimate authority, not lived experience — truth claims are evaluated independently of race, class, or gender (contra standpoint epistemology). (5) The gospel transforms individuals who then transform systems — Christianity overhauling people, not just systems. Shenvi recommends: his free 20-page booklet with Pat Sawyer, "Engaging Critical Theory and the Social Justice Movement" (Ratio Christi). Also Robin DiAngelo's "Is Everyone Really Equal?" as a primary source to understand the ideology. Winger: CRT "acknowledges a real problem, distorts what the problem is, and offers solutions that are part of that same problem."
