Religion, Politics, and the Christian Right: Post-9/11 Powers in American Empire

Book of the Day: Religion, Politics, and the Christian Right: Post-9/11 Powers in American Empire, by Mark Lewis Taylor. Publisher: Augsburg Fortres

The power and influence of America's Christian Right is undeniable, so of course there have been innumerable books seeking to explain how the movement developed and what it means for American politics. Most such books focus on religion and religious explanations, yet we must remember that this is an American movement - there isn't anything quite like it elsewhere. Explanations must, therefore, take American political and social history into account.
