More about the book

Focusing on the intersection of race and theology, this book explores how cultural interpretations of the Bible have shaped modern racial theories and prejudices. Colin Kidd analyzes the Protestant Atlantic world from 1600 to 2000, revealing that while the Bible itself is neutral regarding race, its interpreters have infused it with racial significance. The study delves into the theological anxieties underlying white supremacy during the age of empire and slavery, highlighting the influence of racialist ideas on emerging religious movements.
