White Too Long
The Legacy of White Supremacy in American Christianity
Book • 2020
In this book, Robert P. Jones delivers a groundbreaking analysis of the symbiotic relationship between Christianity and white supremacy in America.
Drawing on history, public opinion surveys, and personal experience, Jones argues that white Christians have not just been complacent or complicit but have actively constructed and sustained a project of protecting white supremacy and opposing black equality.
The book exposes how deeply racist attitudes have become embedded in white Christian identity and calls for an honest reckoning with the past and work toward repair in the present.
Jones emphasizes that this is not just a matter of moral obligation but also essential for the integrity of white Christianity and the future of the American experiment.
