Redeeming America

“A sensitive yet critical analysis of the ideology of the New Christian Right.” — CHOICE

“This book should be read by scholars of the Christian Right, both for understanding and for testable hypotheses. . . . Lienesch has been immersed in the published work of Christian Right leaders, and he has produced an interesting and important book.” — American Political Science Review

“This book objectively probes the philosophic underpinnings of the Christian Right, expounding its worldview while also unmasking its inconsistencies and outlandish claims. . . . An interesting and important book.” — American Political Science Review

“This fine book will have a very wide appeal. It will be especially welcomed by all students of American conservatism, particularly in its most powerful recent manifestations. Lienesch has conferred a welcome degree of intellectual order on a seemingly diverse and amorphous movement, and in so doing allowed his readers to enter, for a time, the world its leaders and followers inhabit.” — Australasian Journal of American Studies

“Lienesch’s significant contribution is the cool, detached, objective presentation of New Christian Right thought. No other scholar has even come close to this achievement.” — Jeffrey Hadden, University of Virginia
