Description

Robert P. Jones examines the complex relationship between American Christianity and white supremacy, revealing how the dominant cultural power has constructed and sustained a project of protecting white supremacy and opposing black equality.

Drawing on history, public opinion surveys, and personal experience, Jones presents a provocative analysis of the legacy of white supremacy in American Christianity, challenging white Christians to acknowledge their role in perpetuating racism and to work toward repair in the present.

With a nuanced blend of historical accounting, soul-searching reflection, and analysis, Jones delivers a powerful and much-needed examination of the deeply ingrained racist attitudes embedded in the DNA of white Christian identity.
