I did not understand much of what the authors were saying in the excerpt. The language was hard to understand and there seems to be inside language not many people would understand. For example:

“Were it not for my experience of the racial calculus that operates reflexively within contemporary theological and ecclesial formation, I might have more seriously questioned my assumptions about the death of a black youth and the acquittal of his killer.”

or

“What had been troublesome in the way “reconciliation” was imagined within the ecclesiological frameworks I had received was explicated in their texts in a cogent manner that purposed to expose the inception of the racial vision and its subsequent masquerade as universality.”

What? Maybe the book explains these terms and ideas better. I the book is filled with writing like this he won’t get his ideas across to most.

This sentence is really hard to read and understand what he is saying, even in context. There also seems to be a lot of inside terms that may not be understood by most people.
