Read the introduction to Christianity Today's series on evangelicals and racial reconciliation. The series will continue through next week.

Summaries of Christian Smith's books are available from the University of North Carolina, including other works with Michael Emerson, such as American Evangelicalism: Embattled and Thriving.

Read a short biography of Emerson from the Rice University site or Christian Smith's Curriculum Vitae from the University of North Carolina.

This article from the Chronicle of Higher Education, " Striving to Understand the Christian Right ", relied heavily on Smith and Emerson as sources.

Read the Sojourners article, " Evangelicals and Race ", which argues that white evangelicals are beginning to recognize the need for racial reconciliation.

Divided by Faith is available from Oxford University Press and other book retailers.
