The recent global expansion of Protestant Christianity, and the
increase in multiparty democracies, has led to the multiplication
of Protestant political parties. One cannot talk of Protestant
parties today without mentioning countries as diverse as Norway,
Latvia, New Zealand, Indonesia, Zambia and Nicaragua. Whilst the
well-established parties of the Netherlands and Scandinavia have
long been studied, Paul Freston's groundbreaking book is the first
global survey of this phenomenon. After looking at the traditional
Protestant heartlands of Europe and the English-speaking world,
Freston traces the spread of the Protestant party model to
post-communist countries, the Pacific, the Muslim world, southern
Africa and Latin America. He examines the circumstances favouring
such parties, and the political projects they represent. The
conclusion analyses the diversity of Protestant parties due to
different interpretations of Christian politics and varied
contexts. This unique book will interest specialists and
non-specialists, across disciplines and in many parts of the world.
