Contents:

The 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?

Subject: "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." --
