The Use of Legitimizing Narratives in Defending Racial Segregation
The chapter explores the historical and contemporary use of legitimizing narratives to justify racial segregation and white supremacy within white evangelicalism, particularly focusing on interpretations of biblical texts like the story of Noah and his son Canaan. It examines how certain religious beliefs have been twisted to uphold discriminatory practices and support oppressive systems, delving into the role of Confederate theologians and figures like John MacArthur in perpetuating these narratives. Additionally, the discussion touches on how similar narratives are employed in evangelical spaces to maintain gender hierarchy and control, using terms like 'complementarianism' to mask inequality between men and women.
