But white Christians--from evangelicals in the South to mainline Protestants in the Midwest and Catholics in the Northeast--have not just been complacent or complicit; rather, as the dominant cultural power, they have constructed and sustained a project of protecting white supremacy and opposing black equality that has framed the entire American story. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith his family's 1815 Bible in one hand and contemporary public opinion surveys by Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI) in the other, Robert P. Jones delivers \"a refreshing blend of historical accounting, soul searching reflection, and analysis\" (\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e) of the repressed relationship between Christianity and white supremacy. \u003ci\u003eWhite Too Long \u003c\/i\u003eis \"a marvel\" (\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e, starred review) that demonstrates how deeply racist attitudes have become embedded in the DNA of white Christian identity over time and calls for an honest reckoning with a complicated, painful, and even shameful past. Jones challenges white Christians to acknowledge that public apologies are not enough--accepting responsibility for the past requires work toward repair in the present. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eWhite Too Long\u003c\/i\u003e is not an appeal to altruism. It is \"a powerful and much-needed book\" (Eddie S. Glaude Jr, professor at Princeton University and author of \u003ci\u003eBegin Again\u003c\/i\u003e) drawing on lessons gleaned from case studies of communities beginning to face these challenges. Jones argues that contemporary white Christians must confront these unsettling truths because this is the only way to salvage the integrity of their faith and their own identities. More broadly, it is no exaggeration to say that not just the future of white Christianity, but the outcome of the American experiment is at stake.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRobert P.
