 THE AUTHOR: Anthea Butler, Ph.D.\n\nAnthea Butler is professor of religion 
 at the University of Pennsylvania and the author of Women in the Church of 
 God in Christ: Making a Sanctified World. A leading historian and public 
 commentator on religion and politics, Butler has appeared on networks 
 including CNN, BBC, and MSNBC and has published opinion pieces in the New 
 York Times, the Washington Post, and many other media outlets.\n\n\nABOUT 
 THE BOOK: "White Evangelical Racism: the Politics of Morality"\n\nThe 
 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? \n\nIn 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.\n\nButler reveals how evangelical racism, propelled by the benefits 
 of whiteness, has since the nation's founding played a provocative role in 
 severely fracturing the electorate. During the buildup to the Civil War, 
 white evangelicals used scripture to defend slavery and nurture the 
 Confederacy. \n\nDuring Reconstruction, they used it to deny the vote to 
 newly emancipated blacks. In the twentieth century, they sided with 
 segregationists in avidly opposing movements for racial equality and civil 
 rights. \n\nMost recently, evangelicals supported the Tea Party, a Muslim 
 ban, and border policies allowing family separation. White evangelicals 
 today, cloaked in a vision of Christian patriarchy and nationhood, form a 
 staunch voting bloc in support of white leadership. \n\nEvangelicalism's 
 racial history festers, splits America, and needs a reckoning 
 now.\n\n\nABOUT: Entrepreneurial Appetite Black Book
