For many, the struggle over civil rights was not just about lunch
counters, waiting rooms, or even access to the vote; it was also
about Christian theology. Since both activists and segregationists
ardently claimed that God was on their side, racial issues were
imbued with religious meanings from all sides. Whether in the
traditional sanctuaries of the major white Protestant
denominations, in the mass meetings in black churches, or in
Christian expressions of interracialism, southerners resisted,
pursued, and questioned racial change within various theological
traditions. God with Us examines the theological struggle over
racial justice through the story of one Southern town-Americus,
Georgia-where ordinary Americans sought and confronted racial
change in the twentieth century. Documenting the passion and
virulence of these contestations, this book offers insight into how
midcentury battles over theology and race affected the rise of the
Religious Right and indeed continue to resonate deeply in American
life.
