In crafting racial visions of the modern world, European thinkers
appropriated the Christian doctrine of providence, constructing the
idea of European humanity's rule over the globe on the model of
God's rule over the universe. As a powerful ordering theory of the
relationship between God and creation, time and space, self and
other, the doctrine served as an intellectual framework for the
theorization of whiteness, as the male European subject replaced
Jesus Christ as the human being at the center of world history.
Through an analysis of the work of G.W.F. Hegel, Karl Barth, and
James H. Cone, God, Race, and History examines this subversion of
the Christian doctrine of providence, as well as subsequent
attempts within modern Protestant theology to liberate the doctrine
from its captivity to whiteness. It then develops a constructive
political theology of providence in conversation with Delores S.
Williams and M. Shawn Copeland, discerning Jesus Christ at work
through the Holy Spirit in the struggles of ordinary, overlooked,
and oppressed human creatures to survive and to carve out a
flourishing life for themselves, their communities, and their
world.
