Contents:
Prologue : race in the eye of the beholder -- Introduction : race as scripture problem -- Race and religious orthodoxy in the early modern era -- Race, the Enlightenment and the authority of scripture -- Monogenesis, slavery and the nineteenth-century crisis of faith -- The Aryan moment : racialising religion in the nineteenth century -- Forms of racialized religion -- Black counter-theologies.
Summary: This book explores the way in which religious ideas have shaped British and American thinking about race between 1600 and 2000. It shows that the Bible has been just as influential as science over the last few centuries in forging racial attitudes and identities.

Includes bibliographical references (pages 277-304) and index.
