In Redeeming America, Michael Lienesch identifies a cyclical redemptive pattern in the New Christian Right’s approach to politics, and he argues that the movement is certain to emerge again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLienesch explores in detail the writings of a wide range of Christian conservatives, including Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson, Phyllis Schlafly, and Tim and Beverly LaHaye, in order to illuminate the beliefs and ideas on which the movement is based. Depicting the thinking of these writers as a set of concentric circles beginning with the self and moving outward to include the family, the economy, the polity, and the world, Lienesch finds shared themes as well as contradictions and tensions. He also uncovers a complex but persistent pattern of thought that inspires periodic attempts to redeem America, alternating with more inward-looking intervals of personal piety.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Michael Lienesch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e The University of North Carolina Press\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1993\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 344\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780807844281\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Michael Lienesch","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67715088154852,"sku":"FRK000000319","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0611\/9587\/8628\/files\/71RQpIKj4QL.jpg?v=1792598157","url":"https:\/\/bookandmortar.com\/products\/used-acceptable-redeeming-america-piety-and-politics-in-the-new-christian-right-michael-lienesch-paperback","provider":"BookandMortar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
