This paper will examine Conservative American Christians who believe that Biblical Inerrancy provides the moral defense for racism in several forms: African slavery, production of the Slave Bible, and the rejection of Critical Race Theory. These defenses are best observed in The International Council on Biblical Inerrancy (ICBI), the views and agenda of Albert Mohler Jr former President of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Richard Furman’s letter “Exposition of the Views of the Baptists Relative to the Coloured Population...”, and Voddie Baucham’s book Fault Lines that rejects Critical Race Theory.
Defense of American slavery, creation of the Slave Bible, and the contemporary rejection of Critical Race theory all stem from the controversial reality that Biblical Inerrancy is part of the same heritage that continues to demand Black inequality within ideal Conservative American Christian culture and society.
