| 總結: | In The Democratic Virtues of the Christian Right, Jon Shields provocatively argues that conservative Christians have “helped create a more participatory democracy” (p. 1) and “labored to inculcate deliberative norms in their rank-and-file activists” (p. 2). He forcefully objects to popular and scholarly depictions of these activists as anti-liberal, irrational, or quasi-fascist. The book's sophisticated argument makes it essential reading for scholars of American religion, politics, and social movements, but it is accessible enough to interest nonspecialists as well., Political scientists, Shields explains, have too seldom engaged the subject of religion. |
