Routledge Onward Christian Soldiers? - American Politics Book

Understand the powerful influence of the Christian Right in American politics with this revised fourth edition of Onward Christian Soldiers? from Routledge. This book examines the groups that hold significant money, influence, and power, such as Focus on the Family, Family Research Council, and Concerned Women for America. These organizations represent a major force in the voting booth and shape the national conversation. This text explores the history of the movement throughout the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, bringing the story up to the Obama administration. It addresses the central questions surrounding these groups: are they a threat to religious liberty and aiming for a theocratic state, or are they the final defenders of family values and religion in America? Part of the Dilemmas in American Politics series, this book provides a detailed look at how religious movements impact political landscapes and policy decisions.
