Forging a Christian Order. South Carolina Baptists, Race, and Slavery, 1696-1860, Hardback

Argues that eighteenth-century White Baptists in South Carolina used the Bible to fashion a Christian model of slavery that recognised the humanity of enslaved people while accentuating contrived racial differences. Over time this model evolved from a Christian practice of slavery to one that expounded on slavery as morally right.
