The book explores the intersection of mainline Protestantism and Conservatism from the 1960s onward, examining how left-wing politicization affects their compatibility. It analyzes the perspectives of three Conservative Protestant authors: Hermann Lübbe, who emphasizes the politicization of Protestantism; Michael Oakeshott, who advocates for a liberal theological approach without politicization; and Richard Neuhaus, who supports a traditional theology that resists both immanentisation and politicisation. The study reveals distinct interpretations and implications for the Church's role.
