"A Ferris and Ferris book."
Introduction, Evangelical Racism: A Feature, Not a Bug -- Racist Foundations of Evangelicalism in the Nineteenth Century -- Saving the Nation, Fervor, Fear, and Challenges to Jim Crow -- Whitewashing Racism and the Rise of the Religious Right -- How Firm a Foundation, a Twenty-First-Century Precipice Appears -- Conclusion, Whom Will You Serve?
"The American political scene today is poisonously divided, and the vast majority of white evangelicals play a strikingly unified, powerful role in the disunion. These evangelicals raise a starkly consequential question for electoral politics: Why do they claim morality while supporting politicians who act immorally by most Christian measures? In this clear-eyed, hard-hitting chronicle of American religion and politics, Anthea Butler answers that racism is at the core of conservative evangelical activism and power."-- Publisher, inside front flap of dust jacket
