Description
A Choice Outstanding Academic Title, 2015The first comprehensive history of modern American evangelicalism to appear in a generation, American Apocalypse shows how a group of radical Protestants, anticipating the end of the world, paradoxically transformed it. â?oThe history Sutton assembles is rich, and the connections are startling.â??â?"New Yorkerâ?oAmerican Apocalypse relentlessly and impressively shows how evangelicals have interpreted almost every domestic or international crisis in relation to Christâ?Ts return and his judgment upon the wickedâ?▌Sutton sees one of the most troubling aspects of evangelical influence in the spread of the apocalyptic outlook among Republican politicians with the rise of the Religious Rightâ?▌American Apocalypse clearly shows just how popular evangelical apocalypticism has been and, during the Cold War, how the combination of odd belief and political power could produce a sleepless night or two.â??â?"D. G. Hart, Wall Street Journalâ?oAmerican Apocalypse is the best history of American evangelicalism Iâ?Tve read in some timeâ?▌If you want to understand why compromise has become a dirty word in the GOP today and how cultural politics is splitting the nation apart, American Apocalypse is an excellent place to start.â??â?"Stephen Prothero, Bookforum
