Summary:
"Drawing on history, public opinion surveys, and personal experience, Robert P. Jones delivers a provocative examination of the unholy relationship between
American
Christianity
and
white
supremacy
, and issues an urgent call for
white
Christians to reckon with this
legacy
for the sake of themselves and the nation. As the nation grapples with demographic changes and the
legacy
of racism in America,
Christianity
's role as a cornerstone of
white
supremacy
has been largely overlooked. But
white
Christians -- from evangelicals in the South to mainline Protestants in the Midwest and Catholics in the Northeast -- have not just been complacent or complicit; rather, as the dominant cultural power, they have constructed and sustained a project of protecting
white
supremacy
and opposing black equality that has framed the entire
American
story. With his family's 1815 Bible in one hand and contemporary public opinion surveys by Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI) in the other, Robert P. Jones delivers a groundbreaking analysis of the repressed history of the symbiotic relationship between
Christianity
and
white
supremacy
.
White
Too
Long
demonstrates how deeply racist attitudes have become embedded in the DNA of
white
Christian identity over time and calls for an honest reckoning with a complicated, painful, and even shameful past. Jones challenges
white
Christians to acknowledge that public apologies are not enough -- accepting responsibility for the past requires work toward repair in the present.
White
Too
Long
is not an appeal to altruism. Drawing on lessons gleaned from case studies of communities beginning to face these challenges, Jones argues that contemporary
white
Christians must confront these unsettling truths because this is the only way to salvage the integrity of their faith and their own identities. More broadly, it is no exaggeration to say that not just the future of
white
Christianity
but the outcome of the
American
experiment is at stake."--Publisher.
