This book presents insight into religion and slavery from a leading
southern scholar. ""A Consuming Fire"" focuses on the religious
dimensions of the South's response to slavery, the Civil War, and
emancipation. Eugene D. Genovese looks at how southern proslavery
theorists, both clergy and lay, struggled with the intellectual and
theological quandaries posed by slavery. To many, defeat in the
Civil War was God's punishment not for slavery itself but for the
failure to reform it into a 'scripturally sanctioned' system.
Although the reform spirit carried over into the postwar years, it
was eventually overwhelmed by open racism and segregationist
ideology.
