The Church and Racism Episode #3: After the Civil War to Now
Jan 29, 2021
Summary
The third episode of the Church and Racism looks at the historical period immediately after the civil war and into the early 20th century. We look at the biblical story of Noah and his son Ham and the interpretation that undergirded a belief in divine blessing and curses on race and the divine sanction of slavery. We look at the theology of the Ku Klux Klan in its first and second iterations. And we see the fine line that ideologically distinguishes Christians white supremacists and Christian anti-racists.
