They have money, influence, power - and they turn out to vote.
"They" are groups like Focus on the Family, Family Research
Council, and Concerned Women for America (all parts of the
Christian Right. But, are they a serious threat to religious
liberty, bent on creating a theocratic state, or the last defenders
of religion and family values in America). Bringing the story of
the religious right up to the Obama administration, this revised
fourth edition explores the history of the movement in twentieth
and early twenty-first century American politics. The authors
review the expansion of the Christian Right through George W.
Bush's second administration and evaluate how the religious right
fared in the 2006 and 2008 elections. Although figureheads of the
religious right remain in the news, their power in Washington may
be declining, and the authors consider the fate of the religious
right under the Obama administration. Examining how the religious
right both does and does not fit into the proper role of religious
groups in American politics, Onward Christian Soldiers? is an
essential addition to the Dilemmas in American Politics series.
