Emerson and Christian Smith probed the grassroots of white evangelical America. They found that despite recent efforts by the movement's leaders to address the problem of racial discrimination, evangelicals themselves seem to be preserving America's racial chasm. In fact, most white evangelicals see no systematic discrimination against blacks. But the authors contend that it is not active racism that prevents evangelicals from recognizing ongoing problems in American society. Instead, it is the evangelical movement's emphasis on individualism, free will, and personal relationships that makes invisible the pervasive injustice that perpetuates racial inequality. Most racial problems, the subjects told the authors, can be solved by the repentance and conversion of the sinful individuals at fault. Combining a substantial body of evidence with sophisticated analysis and interpretation, the authors throw sharp light on the oldest American dilemma. In the end, they conclude that despite the best intentions of evangelical leaders and some positive trends, real racial reconciliation remains far over the horizon. 538 $a Mode of access: World Wide Web. 650 0 $a Religion. 700 1 $a Smith, Christian. 700 1 $a Davies, Stephen Bel. $4 nrt 710 2 $a hoopla digital. 856 40 $u https://www.hoopladigital.com/title/11993857 $z Instantly available on hoopla. 856 42 $z Cover image $u https://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ttm_9781541498310_180.jpeg 941 $a 1 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20180403014326.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=BB1650CC370411E887D7D95B97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
