CHAPTER

Christian Doctrine and the Black-White Divide

This chapter examines how Christian doctrine supported the black-white divide, leading to the development of theology to justify racial hierarchy. It explores the curse of Ham argument and other theological gymnastics used to rewrite Christian theology and create a black-white binary. The chapter questions the theologically objective argument for European colonization and discusses the historical roots of white supremacy in European Christianity.
