• Sommario/riassunto: Recent America was awash in a sea of evangelical talk. From the Jesus chic of the Seventies to the satanism scare of the Eighties, the culture wars of the Nineties, and the faith-based vogue of the early 2000s, born-again Christianity was seen and heard on many levels. This was a time of evangelical scares, born-again spectacles, and reconsiderations of the status of faith in politics and culture. 'The Age of Evangelicalism' chronicles the place and meaning of born-again Christianity in the United States from the 1970s to the early 21st century.
