The Christian Right of the 1980s forged its political identity
largely in response to what it perceived as liberal 'judicial
activism'. Robert Daniel Rubin tells this story as it played out in
Mobile, Alabama. There, a community conflict pitted a group of
conservative evangelicals, a sympathetic federal judge, and a
handful of conservative intellectuals against a religious agnostic
opposed to prayer in schools, and a school system accused of
promoting a religion called 'secular humanism'. The twists in the
Mobile conflict speak to the changes and continuities that marked
the relationship of 1980s' religious conservatism to democracy, the
courts, and the Constitution. By alternately focusing its gaze on
the local conflict and related events in Washington, DC, this book
weaves a captivating narrative. Historians, political scientists,
and constitutional lawyers will find, in Rubin's study, a
challenging new perspective on the history of the Christian Right
in the United States.
