Emerson draws on Christian Smith’s extensive research to write a clear and engaging history of modern evangelicalism and the African Americans who have worshiped in evangelical churches and ministries for over two hundred years. Recognizing the often-troublesome and divisive topic of race, O. Emerson does not shy away from difficult conversations about this topic, but he also is determined to remain candidly open about the complicated history that both shapes our current moment, as well as what might lie ahead for American evangelicals.

In this book, Michael O. Emerson discusses the political implications of evangelicalism and how it has contributed to racial inequality in America.

One of the most compelling and contentious debates in America today is the discussion about racism and the role of evangelicalism. Michael Emerson's book Divided by Faith takes a historical perspective on this topic and looks at how Christianity has been integral to white supremacy in this country, even as it has sought to dismantle white supremacy. It also looks at how evangelicalism has played a role in promoting racial divisions

Divided by Faith is an in-depth and even humorous study of the intersection of race, religion and politics in America. A controversial figure in American evangelicalism, Emerson traces the roots of the current situation to a period before the Civil War when white Christians justified their disregard for black people by claiming that they were "not one of us."
