Más información sobre el libro

The book explores the historical roots of evangelical support for left-leaning political causes, tracing back to the 1970s when campus radicals introduced neo-Marxist ideas into church settings. It highlights the early influence of progressive evangelical leaders like Jim Wallis, Ron Sider, and Richard Mouw, who initially gained traction. However, the narrative shifts with the rise of the religious right following Jimmy Carter's defeat, illustrating the complex interplay between faith and politics in American evangelicalism.
