God and Race in American Politics - A Short History

Traces the political effects of the religious intermingling with race. This work demonstrates how supporters and opponents of slavery and segregation drew equally on the Bible to justify the morality of their positions. It shows how a common evangelical heritage supported Jim Crow discrimination and contributed to the black theology of liberation.
