When John W. Whitehead founded The Rutherford Institute as a
Christian legal advocacy group in 1982, it was interested primarily
in the First Amendment??'s religion clause, serving clients only
when religious freedom was at stake. By the mid-1990s, however,
religious rights were but one subset of a whole host of freedoms
threatened by an invasive government.
In Suing for America's Soul R. Jonathan Moore critically
examines the foundation and subsequent practices of The Rutherford
Institute, helping to explain the rise of conservative Christian
legal advocacy groups in recent decades. Moore exposes the effects
? good and bad ? that such legal activism has had on the
evangelical Protestant community. Thought-provoking and astute,
Suing for America's Soul opens a revealing window onto evangelical
Protestantism at large in late-twentieth-century America.
