Stephens, Karl W. GibersonCambridge, Mass. Belknap Press of Harvard University Press20111 online resource (381 p.) Bibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph0-674-04818-0 Includes bibliographical references and index.The answer man -- The amateur Christian historian -- The family of God -- Trust me, the end is near -- A carnival of Christians -- Made in America.American evangelicalism often appears as a politically monolithic, textbook red-state fundamentalism that elected George W. Bush, opposes gay marriage, abortion, and evolution, and promotes apathy about global warming. Prominent public figures hold forth on these topics, speaking with great authority for millions of followers. Authors Stephens and Giberson, with roots in the evangelical tradition, argue that this popular impression understates the diversity within evangelicalism-an often insular world where serious disagreements are invisible to secular and religiously liberal media consumers. Yet, in the face of this diversity, why do so many people follow leaders with dubious credentials when they have other options? Why do tens of millions of Americans prefer to get their science from Ken Ham, founder of the creationist Answers in Genesis, who has no scientific expertise, rather than from his fellow evangelical Francis Collins, current Director of the National Institutes of Health?Exploring intellectual authority within evangelicalism, the authors reveal how America's populist ideals, anti-intellectualism, and religious free market, along with the concept of anointing-being chosen by God to speak for him like the biblical prophets-established a conservative evangelical leadership isolated from the world of secular arts and sciences.Today, charismatic and media-savvy creationists, historians, psychologists, and biblical exegetes continue to receive more funding and airtime than their more qualified counterparts. Though a growing minority of evangelicals engage with contemporary scholarship, the community's authority structure still encourages the "anointed" to assume positions of leadership.EvangelicalismUnited StatesIntellectReligious aspectsChristianityChristian conservatismUnited StatesConservatismReligious aspectsChristianityChristianity and politicsUnited StatesChurch and stateUnited StatesChristianity and cultureUnited StatesUnited StatesChurch historyEvangelicalismIntellectReligious aspectsChristianity.Christian conservatismConservatismReligious aspectsChristianity.Christianity and politicsChurch and stateChristianity and culture277.3/082Stephens Randall J.1973-1510755Giberson Karl1510756MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910781529803321The anointed3743597UNINA05412nam 2200673Ia 450 991083015930332120230828225220.01-280-74844-397866107484400-470-76250-00-470-98864-91-4051-7209-6(CKB)1000000000341876(EBL)284303(OCoLC)437176176(SSID)ssj0000130134(PQKBManifestationID)11134192(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000130134(PQKBWorkID)10080750(PQKB)10889991(MiAaPQ)EBC284303(EXLCZ)99100000000034187620050721d2006 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrControl of primary metabolism in plants[electronic resource] /edited by William C.

This adaptability is necessary for conserving the stability of the intracellular environment which is, in turn, essential for maintaining an efficient functional state. The advent of genomics, proteomics, and metabolomics has revolutionised the study of plant development and is now having a significant impact on the study of plant metabolism and its control.
