In this clear-eyed, hard-hitting chronicle of American religion and politics, Anthea Butler argues that racism is at the core of conservative evangelical activism and power. Propelled by the benefits of whiteness, white evangelicals used scripture to defend slavery and nurture the Confederacy during the Civil War era. During Reconstruction, they used it to deny the vote to newly emancipated blacks. In the twentieth century, they sided with segregationists in avidly opposing movements for racial equality and civil rights. White evangelicals today, cloaked in a vision of Christian patriarchy and nationhood, form a staunch voting bloc in support of white leadership. Evangelicalism's racial history festers, splits America, and needs a reckoning now.In a new preface to the second edition, Butler takes stock of how the trends she identified have expanded as Donald Trump mounts a third campaign for the presidency, evangelicals celebrate and respond to the overturning of Roe v. Wade, and ferocious backlash against racial equity has injected new venom into evangelicalism's role in American politics.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 191mmItem Length: 127mmAuthor: Anthea ButlerGenre: Society & CultureTopic: Social Sciences, History, Philosophy & Spirituality, Law & PoliticsBook Series: Ferris and Ferris BookRelease Year: 2024 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
