Fountain. Baton Rouge : Louisiana State University Press, 2010. 1 online resource (xi, 159 p.) Conflicting worlds Includes bibliographical references and index. Afro-Christianity by the numbers -- Christ in chains -- Alternatives to Christianity within the Antebellum slave community -- Christ unchained. During the Civil War, traditional history tells us, Afro-Christianity proved a strong force for slaves' perseverance and hope of deliverance. In Slavery, Civil War, and Salvation, however, Daniel Fountain raises the possibility that Afro-Christianity played a less significant role within the antebellum slave community than most scholars currently assert. Bolstering his argument with a quantitative survey of religious behavior and WPA slave narratives, Fountain presents a new timeline for the African American conversion experience.
