Increasingly scholars of evangelicalism in the United States are telling more complex stories about the interplay of race and politics within its faithful ranks. The Bible Told Them So generates an important new ripple forcing us to consider the ubiquitous nature of disparate white evangelical Christian denominations in their stance against black racial progress and desegregation. Stylistically unflinching while managing to remain approachably delicate, Hawkins has produced a tour de force that tells an unsettling tale of certain white evangelicals' efforts to maintain a dominant social order
