Obamagelicals: How the Right Turned Left demonstrates how
rhetorical strategies normalized, marginalized, and/or
anaesthetized the traditional views of the white Protestant
evangelical voter and gave younger white Protestant evangelicals,
whose self-identify as being centrists or modernists, a voice that
had otherwise been drowned out by the traditional old guard of the
Protestant evangelical religious right. Obamagelicals argues
President Obama capitalized on this completely different set of
value issues that resonated with white Protestant evangelical
centrists and modernists in ways never dreamed possible.
Obamagelicals is a unique contribution to the current,
interdisciplinary conversation about the role of white Protestant
evangelicals in the democratic process and the victorious
presidential election. It is unique because it treats Protestant
evangelicalism not as a monolith but as a mosaic-comprised of
numerous denominations and belief patterns. Through this creation
of space on the theological continuum of Protestant evangelicalism,
believers draw attention to themselves by creating distinction and
attention. This book examines how the shift in theological
interpretations of the Scriptures lead to shift in cultural and
political issues that went undetected by Republican candidate
Senator John McCain but embraced by President Obama. Obamagelicals
provides a consistent methodological approach that is easy to
understand for those interested in religion and politics. Using
data analysis and cross-tabulations, each topic or theme employs
simple, easy to understand variables thereby allowing for a
cross-comparison. Obamagelicals allows us the opportunity to begin
to examine the connections between religiosity and political
participation on such key policy issues as the economy, war in Iraq
and Afghanistan, and same-sex marriages, within the mosaic of
Protestant evangelicalism in the shadow of the 2008 election.
