In the Book of Genesis it says “... God created human beings in his own image,” however according the book " The Color of Christ: The Son of God and the Saga of Race in America," we made his son in our image.

Edward Blum, who co- authored the book, explains how groups used the image of Christ as a means for suppression and a tool for empowerment.
