Princeton theologian Mark Lewis Taylor takes the measure of the remarkable and disturbing power of right-wing Christians in U.S. politics and policy, especially in the period after 9/11. Taylors original and compelling analysis shows how our deeply ingrained myths about American history, religion, and destiny were both disrupted and made more dangerous by 9/11. This, Taylor argues has left Americans vulnerable and captive to the militant faith of the Christian right, now one force in an unholy triumvirate of powers that also includes exploitative corporate interests and neoconservative Pentagon plans for the U.S. as new empire. Religion, Politics, and the Christian Right details the dramatic and destructive impact of this triumvirate, especially in its military misadventures and its abuse of human rights. Yet while warning of these dangers, Taylor also points to a countervailing prophetic impulse in the American legacy, resurrecting a kind of radical liberalism with a profound dedication to the common good and justice for all. Religion, Politics, and the Christian Right not only probes the ambiguities of religion in the public sphere; it also offers a genuine vision of how committed and responsible Americansreligious or notcan once again engage Americas best prophetic spirit.
