Sommario/riassunto |
|
Fulton J. Sheen, Norman Vincent Peale, and Billy Graham were America's most popular religious leaders during a period within the Age of Extremes, specifically the 1950s and early 1960s, when America's world view reflected a polarity consensus of good and evil. This critical study seeks to understand how and why their rhetorical leadership, both separately and together, contributed to the climate of an extreme era and influenced a national religious revival. |
