Book Review

Freedom's Coming: Religious Culture and the Shaping of the South from the Civil War through the Civil Rights Era. By Paul Harvey. (Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina Press, 2005. xviii, 338 pp. $34.95, ISBN 0-8078-2901-3.)

Giving attention to three developments—"theological racism," "racial interchange," and "Christian interracialism" (p. 2)—Freedom's Coming discusses the shift in white southern theological discourse from rabid Christian racism to a concern with moral vision extending beyond a limited sense of racial special-ness. The first section of the book (chapters 1–2) entails presentation of intersections between religious and political involvement by white and black evangelicals prior to the 1950s. Chapter 3 offers examples of "racial interchange" within the context of religious belief and practice. In the remaining two chapters, Paul Harvey explores the civil rights movement and the maturation of the religious Right for their impact on notions of racial inclusivity.
