Tillich: Issues in Theology, Religion, and Culture Unit
Theme: Book Panel: The Religion of White Supremacy in the United States (Rowman and Littlefield, 2017) by Eric Weed
Stephen G. Ray, Chicago Theological Seminary, Presiding
- Sunday, 5:30 PM–7:00 PM
Room: Convention Center—603 (Street Level)
This panel will discuss The Religion of White Supremacy in the United States, by Eric Weed (Rowman and Littlefield).
The Religion of White Supremacy in the United States is a theo-historical account of race in America. Based on Paul
Tillich‘s idea of ultimate concern, Eric Weed argues that white supremacy is a religion in the United States. In showing the
ultimacy of white supremacy, Weed also argues that this form of religion qualifies as demonic based on Tillich‘s formulation.
While the book is shaped by Tillich, it also employs other disciplines, including American History and Critical Whiteness Studies.
