White Evangelical Racism by Anthea Butler
The Politics of Morality in America
A searing examination of how white evangelicalism in America has historically intertwined theology, culture, and political power to defend and normalize racial hierarchies. The author traces roots from slavery and segregation to contemporary politics, showing how theological arguments, institutional practices, and media have been used to dismiss, minimize, or justify racism while aligning many white evangelicals with conservative political movements and leaders. The book challenges readers to confront how religious identity has been weaponized to sustain inequality and calls for an honest reckoning and structural change within evangelical communities.
