Errand into the Wilderness of Mirrors: Religion and the History of the CIA. By Michael Graziano
This creative study of the CIA’s “religious approach” to fighting the Cold War joins a growing body of scholarship examining the intersection of religion and foreign affairs. In seven tightly argued chapters, Michael Graziano charts the development of a “world religions paradigm” in both the academy and the United States’ intelligence services from WWII through Vietnam. This paradigm led CIA officers, State Department officials, and US presidents…
Religion in the Public Square: Sheen, King, Falwell. By James M. Patterson
This provocative volume brings together three religious leaders that make for an odd grouping: Fulton Sheen, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Jerry Falwell. Politics scholar James M. Patterson argues that these three men strained against the boundary between religion and politics in the United States, which finally collapsed under the pressure placed on church–state separation by Falwell’s religious right. Patterson laments the loss of a Tocquevillia…
Christian Reconstruction: R.J. Rushdoony and American Religious Conservatism
R.J. Rushdoony’s ideas have circulated far more widely than his name. Outside of conservative evangelicals, few Americans could identify Rushdoony, but he left a massive intellectual legacy that influenced the Christian right, homeschoolers, libertarians, and the Tea Party. With Michael J. McVicar’s recent study, Rushdoony finally has the intellectual biography he deserves. The son of Armenian immigrants, Rushdoony worked tirelessly as a missiona…
War, Sports, and the Construction of Masculinity in American Christianity
Since at least the late 19th century, American Christians have focused attention on the ways faith promotes (or inhibits) masculinity. 'Muscular Christians' in the late 19th century imagined Jesus as a robust, manly figure and encouraged the development of a vigorous, masculine faith on playing fields and battlefields. Subsequent generations of mainline Protestants and evangelicals also promoted American war efforts and latched on to amateur and …
Christianity and American Democracy – By Hugh Heclo
"Family Values" and the Formation of a Christian Right Agenda
During his 1976 presidential campaign, Jimmy Carter promised social conservatives that, if elected, he would convene a conference examining how the federal government could support American families. That promise-alongside Carter's description of being "born again" and his well-documented Christian devotion-thrilled American evangelicals. They provided him with a crucial bloc of support in the 1976 election. Four years later, Carter finally made …
