Purchase options and add-ons

Together, and separately, black and white Baptists created different but intertwined cultures that profoundly shaped the South. Adopting a biracial and bicultural focus, Paul Harvey works to redefine southern religious history, and by extension southern culture, as the product of such interaction--the result of whites and blacks having drawn from and influenced each other even while remaining separate and distinct.

Harvey explores the parallels and divergences of black and white religious institutions as manifested through differences in worship styles, sacred music, and political agendas. He examines the relationship of broad social phenomena like progressivism and modernization to the development of southern religion, focusing on the clash between rural southern folk religious expression and models of spirituality drawn from northern Victorian standards.

In tracing the growth of Baptist churches from small outposts of radically democratic plain-folk religion in the mid-eighteenth century to conservative and culturally dominant institutions in the twentieth century, Harvey explores one of the most impressive evolutions of American religious and cultural history.

Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2017
Harvey operates on the assumption that Southern religion after the Civil War, not just in the antebellum period, was a “biracial and bicultural phenomenon” (3). Throughout Redeeming the South, Harvey reveals the ways that the Southern Baptist Convention (white) and National Baptist Convention (black) shaped each other’s religious beliefs and practices while each group confronted the changing landscape of late nineteenth-century and early twentieth-century America.

Harvey begins by explaining the racial split of the two Baptist conventions and unpacking the role of localism practiced by both black and white Baptists before the Civil War. This adherence to localization allowed each religio-racial group to adapt its teachings to its congregants’ preferences—ecclesiastical, theological, and racial. For instance, Harvey reveals that white Baptist leaders “reinforced the misremembering of Reconstruction [the Lost Cause], with tragic political consequences for African Americans” (42). He also explains that black Baptists used their religious congregations to organize politically after the Civil War—articulating how both Baptist institutions blurred the lines between church and state. Harvey also expertly addresses the struggles faced by religious groups after the Civil War as they adapted to a modernizing American culture. He explores several tensions that Baptists faced, including competition from new religious groups that championed ecstatic worship, difficulties of remaining financially solvent in a new economy, and incorporating a professionalizing clergy that pushed their congregations toward middle class respectability. On this last point, Harvey’s analysis of middle-class respectability is especially important for understanding the changing class structures of the United States in the early twentieth century. Harvey’s book is essential for understanding the role of race, class, and politics in the creation of religious identities in the postbellum United States.
