This book revolutionises our understanding of race. Building upon
the insight that races are products of culture rather than biology,
Colin Kidd demonstrates that the Bible - the key text in Western
culture - has left a vivid imprint on modern racial theories and
prejudices. Fixing his attention on the changing relationship
between race and theology in the Protestant Atlantic world between
1600 and 2000 Kidd shows that, while the Bible itself is
colour-blind, its interpreters have imported racial significance
into the scriptures. Kidd's study probes the theological anxieties
which lurked behind the confident facade of of white racial
supremacy in the age of empire and race slavery, as well as the
ways in which racialist ideas left their mark upon new forms of
religiosity. This is essential reading for anyone interested in the
histories of race or religion.
