Wilcox (government, Georgetown U.) and Robinson (political science, Hood College) present this up to date overview of the Christian right and its place in the American political arena. This fourth edition expands discussion of the intensification of the Christian right through the second term of George W. Bush and the current Obama administration. The authors discuss the origins of this radical movement in the early 20th century with the fundamentalist and Pentecostal reactions to Darwin's theories. The future of the Christian right is also considered with the change brought on by Barack Obama. The authors present this often passion inspiring topic in a very moderate and academic manner.

Bringing the story of the religious right up to the Obama administration, this revised fourth edition explores the history of the movement in twentieth and early twenty-first century American politics. The authors review the expansion of the Christian right through George W. Bush’s second administration and evaluate how the religious right fared in the 2006 and 2008 elections. Although figureheads of the religious right remain in the news, their power in Washington may be declining, and the authors consider the fate of the religious right under the Obama administration. Examining how the religious right both does and does not fit into the proper role of religious groups in American politics, Onward Christian Soldiers? is an essential addition to the Dilemmas in American Politics series.


A compelling overview of the role the religious right has played in twentieth and twenty-first century American politics, now revised and updated to the Obama administration

Arvustused

"At a time when the significance of the Christian Right has become harder to discern thanks to recent political developments, Wilcox and Robinson provide an informed and insightful account of this long-lived social movement. Readers of this new edition will find the same balance, fair-mindedness and wisdom that characterized the previous editions. On a subject so often treated polemically, this book remains a welcome corrective." -Kenneth D. Wald, Distinguished Professor of Political Science, University of Florida "A cogent introduction to the 'religious right' in American politics, now revised and updated. Wilcox and Robinson navigate this complex and controversial subject with skill and fairness, covering the movement's origins, goals, activities, and impact." -John C. Green, Distinguished Professor of Political Science, University of Akron "Wilcox and Robinson have only improved what was already a classic text. Onward Christian Soldiers? remains the 'must read' work on the Christian Right. However, it is not only an excellent introduction to the Christian Right movement; it also poses many challenging questions about the role of religion in American politics-and society." -David E. Campbell, John Cardinal O'Hara, C.S.C. Associate Professor of Political Science, University of Notre Dame
