Princeton theologian Mark Taylor analyzes right-wing Christian
movements in the United States amid the powers of religion,
politics, empire, and corporate classes in post-9/11 USA.The real
gift of Taylor's book is his argument that this militant Christian
faith must be viewed against a backdrop of the American political
romanticism and corporatist liberalism of U.S. past and present.
Taylor uses the best of cultural and historical studies, while
deftly drawing lessons for American readers from theologian Paul
Tillich's analysis of power and religion during the rise of fascism
and nationalism in Germany of the 1930s.The result is an innovative
framework for interpreting how Christian nationalists, Pentagon war
planners and corporate institutions today are forging alliances in
the U.S. that have dramatic and destructive global impact. Moving
beyond lament, Taylor also leaves readers with a new romance of
revolutionary traditions and a new more radical liberalism,
revitalizing American visions of spirit that are both prophetic and
public for U.S. residents today.
