Dr. Anthea Butler returns to the show (she was a guest on season one of Powers & Principalities) to discuss her new book, White Evangelical Racism (https://bookshop.org/a/11130/9781469661179) . Her book is of utmost importance to helping us understand both our past and our current moment. We discuss the history of white evangelical racism, and how it played a part in the Jan 6th insurrection and the murders in Atlanta in March 2021.
I also wrote about the book in my new series, The Good Books, published via my newsletter The Post-Evangelical Post (https://postevangelicalpost.substack.com/p/the-good-books-white-evangelical?r=2d6l&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&utm_source=copy) .
