Piety and Politics: Evangelicals and Fundamentalists Confront the World

After nearly half a century in exile, American Evangelicals and Fundamentalists have returned to the political arena.

Will, George Marsden, Ronald Nash, Charles Colson, George Weigel, Ronald Sider, Martin Marty, James D. Hunter, William J. Bennett, Sidney Blumenthal, William F. Buckley, and Grant Wacker are among the twenty-six contributors to this collection.
