Race As A Biblical And Social Construct

- He argues the only true 'races' are Adam's fallen race and the new race of believers in Christ.
Biblical Concern Is Believer With Unbeliever
- Hughes reframes 'interracial' concerns to the biblical command against believers marrying unbelievers, citing 2 Corinthians 6:14.
- He argues the only impermissible 'mixing' in Scripture is believer with unbeliever, not ethnic mixing.
