First published in 1988, this work was the product of extensive
fieldwork in two evangelical communities. This in-depth
ethnographic study focuses on the meaning systems, organizational
structures and the daily lives of the people Susan D. Rose
encountered. The study is centred around Christian schooling as a
method of socialisation. Tracing the rise of evangelicalism and the
development of the Christian School Movement in the latter half of
the twentieth century, it examines the kinds of educational
alternatives evangelicals have structured for their children.
Moving beyond the issue of schooling itself, it analyses the
interactions among schooling, ideology, economic structures and the
nature of work in contemporary American society, and explores how
people relate to one another within the church-family-school
network. It addresses the provocative question of why
evangelicalism, a self-proclaimed conservative, reactionary
movement, held so much appeal for so many Americans at the time of
publication. This work will be of particular interest to those
studying education and religion and education in the U. S. A.
