Descripción

Randolph Ferguson Scully explores the intricate relationship between religion and the societal changes in Virginia leading up to Nat Turner’s rebellion. He delves into the evolution of the Baptist community from 1740 to 1840, examining how religious beliefs influenced social structures and tensions within the state. This study sheds light on the role of evangelical movements and their impact on both enslaved and free African Americans during a pivotal time in history.

Through a careful analysis of historical contexts and community dynamics, Scully reveals how faith served as both a unifying force and a source of conflict. By situating religion at the forefront of the narrative, he uncovers the complexities of identity, resistance, and the quest for freedom that shaped Turner’s Virginia. The book offers a nuanced perspective that challenges traditional interpretations and contributes to a deeper understanding of America’s religious and cultural landscape.
