God with us [electronic resource] : lived theology and the freedom struggle in Americus, Georgia, 1942-1976 / Ansley L. Quiros.

"God with us examines the theological struggle over racial justice through the story of one southern town--Americus, Georgia--where ordinary Americans sought and confronted racial change in the twentieth century. Documenting the passion and virulence of these contestations, this book offers insight into how midcentury battles over theology and race affected the rise of the Religious Right and indeed continue to resonate deeply in American life"-- Provided by publisher.
