In God at the Grassroots 2016: The Christian Right in American
Politics, a distinguished group of political scientists, many of
whom have been studying the Christian Right for more than two
decades, assess the 2016 elections from the standpoint of religious
conservative activism. These elections, more than any that they
have analyzed, best tell the story of the resilience of this
movement and its enduring importance. The contributors address the
evolution of the religious right movement for more than two decades
and focus primarily on the movement's role in the 2016 elections.
The first section examines the broader national context, with
chapters on the Republican nomination campaign, the general
election, and the relationship between the religious right and the
tea party. The second section comprises state-specific chapters,
focusing primarily on the crucial states in the 2016 presidential
contest. They conclude with lessons learned from the studies of the
religious right in the elections from 1994 through 2016 and address
directions for continued research on the subject. Contributions by
