| Summary: | The last decade has witnessed the emergence of a new generation of American evangelicals who, by most accounts, are more tolerant and politically moderate than their predecessors. Exemplified by younger evangelical leaders such as Reverend Rick Warren, they want little to do with their grandfathers' Religious Right. Instead of concerning themselves solely with issues of sexual morality such as abortion and homosexuality, they embrace a broader political agenda that veers toward concern for the common good. In her insightful, crisply written book, Marcia Pally brings the reader “up close and personal” with these new evangelicals while providing theoretical and historical context against which to understand them. |
