The existence of chattel slavery in a nation that claimed to be christian, and the use of christianity to justify enslavement, confronted black evangelicals [protestants] with a basic dilemma, which may be most clearly formulated in two questions: what meaning did christianity, if it were a white man’s religion, as it seemed, have for blacks; and, why did the christian god, if he were just as claimed, permit blacks to suffer so? in struggling to answer these questions, a significant number of afro-americans developed a distinctive evangelical tradition in which they established meaning and identity for themselves as individuals and as people. simultaneously, they made an indispensable contribution to the development of american evangelicalism."
