Description
The Reagan presidency coincided with the dramatic appearance on the political scene of organizations such as Jerry Falwell's Moral Majority, committed to bringing God back into American politics. In this book Steve Bruce explains the rise of the new Christian right (NCR), evaluates its achievements and shows why, despite some local successes, it failed to re-make America as "one nation under God". He draws on a large body of survey data and on personal interviews with NCR activists, and concludes by considering the political possibilities for religious minorities in modern societies.
