Christian
Matthew Bowman’s history of the term “Christian” belies the simplicity of his approach. A word study in one respect, Bowman’s is, in fact, a deft reconceptualization of religion and politics in the United States since the Civil War. At the heart of this innovative text rests a fundamental claim. “The word Christian provides Americans with metaphysical justification for political belief,” Bowman argues. “It allows them to root notions as diverse a…
Mark A. Lempke. My Brother’s Keeper
In October 1972, presidential hopeful George McGovern visited Wheaton College, a bastion of evangelicalism, to pitch progressive politics. “Jobs programs, battles against malnutrition, cuts to the military budget, and pollution controls”: these, he declared, had to be the Christian voter’s priority (157). As indicated by their boos, Wheaton students thought otherwise; societal restructuring, they protested, required personal, spiritual commitment…

Julie J. Ingersoll. Building God’s Kingdom
Julie J. Ingersoll’s absorbing study of Christian Reconstructionism starts with a testimonial. “This book is the culmination of nearly thirty years of research,” she writes, “much of it informal” (x). Ingersoll once married into one of the Reconstructionist families she writes about; however, because of divorce, and coming to terms with a community in which she “was always uneasy,” she abandoned Reconstructionism, yet never gave up interest in it…
Faith in the New Millennium
The Fissuring of the Republican Party
American Evangelicalism
Reforming Fundamentalism
The Fervent Embrace
To stand against Israel is to stand against God” is the bold claim that Jerry Falwell issued in 1980 to rally his people behind the gop (p. 189). The words are familiar to students of right-wing politics, in which a fierce defense of Israel is common. As Caitlin Carenen shows in her stellar book, however, Falwell's declaration masks complex exigencies of Protestant thought in the post-1930s United States. Liberal and evangelical Protestants have …
Tea Party America and the Born-Again Politics of the Populist Right
Blessed by Oil, Cursed with Crude
God's Own Party
Daniel Williams has written the new definitive account of the Christian Right. In his sweeping synthesis, he offers a fresh revisiting of this movement's oft-told history from the perspective of contemporary scholarship and current events. God's Own Party is a must read for anyone who wants to learn how evangelical conservatism evolved through the twentieth century in a way that allowed it to enter the twenty-first century ensconced in a position…
God-Fearing and Free
Jason W. Stevens tracks the quest of Cold War America to be “God-fearing” and “free,” purged of “innocence in order to behave responsibly in a world where there are no clean hands” (p. xi). He does so with an ambition inspired by the American studies tradition. Drawing on an array of cultural forms, including “liberal conscience movies, Gothic romances, sentimental melodrama, journalism, and confessional biography,” Stevens teases out new connect…
Christ and the CIO
This article explores tensions within the Democratic Party's uneasy alliance of grassroots labor and blue-collar evangelicalism that collapsed in heated confrontation during California's postwar political realignment. The context in which this played out is Ham and Eggs, one of California's largest old-age welfare movements during the 1930s which, in the midst of economic reconstruction, found new (but short-lived) relevance in the late 1940s. Fr…
How the South Joined the Gambling Nation
Revival on the Right
Since 1990 historians have made a concerted effort to utilize new methodologies and highlight different themes and dimensions of political history in a quest to understand better the post‐World War II American Right. The result of this shift in American historiography has been a more intense, creative, and fruitful discussion about the origins and development of modern conservatism. As this article demonstrates, among the many historians now conc…
Praying for a Wicked City
Sunday, March 21, 1993, was a memorable day for the more than two thousand members of Highland Park Baptist Church (HPBC) in Southfield, Michigan, for it marked the end of the church's fiftieth annual missions conference. The event had gathered people from HPBC and other churches to discuss the many social, economic, and moral issues threatening the vitality of community life in metro-politan Detroit. Following several rousing hymns, including "R…
