Selling millions of copies worldwide, the book offered a gospel of self-assurance in an age of mass anxiety. Despite Peale's success and his ties to powerful conservatives such as Dwight D. Eisenhower, J. Edgar Hoover, and Joseph McCarthy, the full story of his movement has never been told. Christopher Lane shows how the famed minister's brand of Christian psychology inflamed the nation's religious revival by promoting the concept that belief in God was essential to the health and harmony of all Americans. We learn in vivid detail how Peale and his powerful supporters orchestrated major changes in a nation newly defined as living "under God." This blurring of the lines between religion and medicine would reshape religion as we know it in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. 606 $aReligion$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aUnited States$2fast 615 0$aReligion$xHistory 676 $a285.7092 700 $aLane$b Christopher, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0691880 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910798978203321 996 $aSurge of Piety$93770814 997 $aUNINA
