| Summary: | With the passing of postwar evangelicalism's second-generation leadership, assessments of that leadership are now forthcoming. It was a generation that broke with fundamentalism's eschewing of political involvement: Pat Robertson was one of a handful of evangelical figures who profoundly affected the American body politic, both in its discourse and in its organization. David Harrell's biography chronicles Robertson's life largely through the organizations he developed, at least two of which were or are important to the political landscape of the last quarter-century. This is a story about the merging of blue-blood political culture and low-brow religion and the changes that each has wrought on the other; it is also a story about the importance of celebrity populism in national politics. |
