Tracing the emergence of their antigay agenda, Herman explores how and why these groups made antigay activity a top priority, and how it relates to their political history. "A penetrating analysis of the Christian Right's antigay agenda and of how that agenda is derived from the Christian Right's peculiar vision of American history and the Christian faith."-Rev. Peter J. Gomes, Boston Book Review "Public intellectualism at its best. . . . A comprehensive summary of the conservative Protestant worldview."-Michael Joseph Gross, Boston Phoenix Literary Section "Presents considerable information not previously part of the nation's political discourse. . . . [Herman] dissects the Christian Right's antigay stance dispassionately giving, as it were, the devil his due. For anyone on either side of this passionate and important conflict, that is an impressive accomplishment."-Hastings Wyman, Jr., Washington Post Book WorldAnti gay agendaConservatismReligious aspectsChristianityFundamentalismHistory20th centuryHomosexualityReligious aspectsChristianityConservatismReligious aspectsChristianity.FundamentalismHistoryHomosexualityReligious aspectsChristianity.261.8/35766/0973Herman Didi1807118MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910975291103321The antigay agenda4356673UNINA
