Somo 50 million adult Americans are born-again Christians, and in the 1980's they burst into the political arena with stunning force. Gone was the image of "old fashioned" fundamentalism and its anti-wordly, separatist philosophy. Under the leadership of the Reverend Jerry Falwell and his allied preachers, they claimed new cultrual territory and refashioned themselves in the public arena. Susan Harding, a cultural anthropologist, set out to understand the significance of this new cultural movement. Focusing on how Falvell and his co-pastors used the Bible's language to inspire and transform, she presents the most original and thorough examination of contemporary Christian fundamentalism to date.
The book of Jerry Falwell is a fascinating work of cultural analysis, a rare account that takes fundamentalist Christianity on tis own terms and deepens our understanding of both religion and the modern world. 0
