Clarence Jordan's Theology Was Ahead of its Time

His theology led him to challenge racial bigotry of his day. Now the time is right for the founder of Koinonia Farm and his ideas.

I had the opportunity to interview Dr. Frederick L. Downing about his new book for Plough Books. The Inconvenient Gospel is a collection of writings by Clarence Jordan, founder of the famous Koinonia Farm in Georgia. Downing was a pioneer in the Civil Rights Movement and ran into vitriolic opposition from his fellow Southern Christians. Downing discusses how Jordan's theology and activism was years ahead of his time and how mainstream Christianity has finally come around to his thinking on these issues.
