Over the last thirty years, conservative evangelicals have been
moving to the Northwest of the United States, where they hope to
resist the impact of secular modernity and to survive the breakdown
of society that they anticipate. These believers have often given
up on the politics of the Christian Right, adopting strategies of
hibernation while developing the communities and institutions from
which a new America might one day emerge. Their activity coincides
with the promotion by prominent survivalist authors of a program of
migration to the "American Redoubt," a region encompassing Idaho,
Montana, parts of eastern Washington and Oregon, and Wyoming, as a
haven in which to endure hostile social change or natural disaster
and in which to build a new social order. These migration movements
have independent origins, but they overlap in their influences and
aspirations, working in tandem to offer a vision of the present in
which Christian values must be defended as American society is
rebuilt according to biblical law. This book examines the origins,
evolution, and cultural reach of this little-noted migration and
considers what it might tell us about the future of American
evangelicalism. Drawing on Calvinist theology, the social theory of
Christian Reconstruction, and libertarian politics, these believers
are projecting significant soft power. Their books are promoted by
leading mainstream publishers and listed as New York Times
bestsellers. Their strategy is gaining momentum, making an impact
in local political and economic life, while being repackaged for a
wider audience in publications by a broader coalition of
conservative commentators and in American mass culture. This
survivalist evangelical subculture recognizes that they have lost
the culture war - but another kind of conflict is beginning.
