About

With more than two dozen primary documents chronicling the Religious Right's emergence in the 1970's, Jerry Falwell and the Rise of the Religious Right uses the life of one of the most media-savvy ministers in U.S. history to walk through the political mobilization of religious conservatives in the 70's and 80's. The text covers many of the major issues of the period, including the cold war, changing gender roles, civil rights, the revitalization of American conservatism, and the Reagan revolution. Access first-hand accounts of the era's culture wars through sermons, letters, speeches, interviews, court documents, and even children's books .
