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 -- Whom Will You Serve? Introduction: Conclusion:
"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."--
