Reception

Amos Yong grouped the book with recent scholarship by Michael Barkun and Jeffrey Kaplan. With its more narrow focus on the pagan white separatist landscape, Yong described it as "a well-written report and analysis of this phenomenon". Stefanie von Schnurbein wrote that the combination of racialist ideology and neopaganism had been "sadly understudied" by scholars, and that "Gods of the Blood is an important and innovative contribution to filling this void". Publishers Weekly wrote that "although Gardell's academic tone and sometimes torturous prose make for slow reading, his well-researched book offers never-before-seen glimpses of the visions and goals of racist pagans".
