Christianity Corrupted is a compelling examination of oppressive Christian theologies and the normalization of white privilege in the United States. Marshall demonstrates how enslaved Africans formulated their own brand of Christianity and cultivated a theology of spiritual resistance to the oppressive theologies of their white Christian enslavers, the rise of Jim Crow, the advent of the Moral Majority, and the complicity of white evangelicals . Finally, on the basis of the spiritual and social resistance, including the Civil Rights struggle, the Black Power Movement, and Black Lives Matter, Marshall presents a theological solution for the scandals of anti-blackness and White Christian Supremacy.

Rev. Dr. Jermaine J.
