Evans shows that the Council's theological approach to race, and in particular its anti-lynching campaign, were responsible for meaningful progress in some white Protestant churches on racial issues. The book highlights the contributions that their religious vision made in expanding and propagating a civic nationalist tradition that was grounded in a "universal brotherhood" and belief in the equality of all human beings, over against a racial nationalist ideology that conceived of America in ethno-racial terms.Evans makes the case that this predominantly white religious organization contributed a distinctive religious voice to visions of a pluralistic democracy, racial and ethnic diversity, and social and political reform. The volume adds a missing voice to the literature on lynching in the early twentieth century, which tends to focus primarily on the NAACP and other secular organizations. 001492728 650_6 $$aÉglise et problèmes sociaux$$zÉtats-Unis. 001492728 650_0 $$aChurch and social problems$$zUnited States.$$xProtestant churches$$0(DLC)sh2004014138 001492728 655_0 $$aElectronic books 001492728 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aEvans, Curtis J.$$tA Theology of Brotherhood$$dNew York : New York University Press,c2024$$z9781479820443 001492728 852__ $$bebk 001492728 85640 $$3De Gruyter Online$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://www.degruyter.com/openurl?genre=book&isbn=9781479820467$$zOnline Access$$91476733.1 001492728 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1492728$$pGLOBAL_SET 001492728 980__ $$aEBOOK 001492728 980__ $$aBIB 001492728 982__ $$aEbook 001492728 983__ $$aOnline 001492728 994__ $$a92$$bISE
