Over the last quarter-century evangelicalism has become an important social and political force in modern America. Here new voices in the field are brought together with leading scholars such as William E. Connolly Michael Barkun Simon Dalby and Paul Boyer to produce a timely examination of the spatial dimensions of the movement offering useful and compelling insights on the intersection between politics and religion. This comprehensive study discusses evangelicalism in its different forms from the moderates to the would-be theocrats who in anticipation of the Rapture seek to impose their interpretations of the Bible upon American foreign policy. The result is a unique appraisal of the movement and its geopolitical visions and the wider impact of these on America and the world at large. Language: English
