More about the book

The book explores the contrasting political behaviors of American and British Evangelicals, despite their similar religious practices. Through interviews and focus groups, it reveals that British Evangelicals tend to avoid partisan politics, opting instead for civic engagement and social justice efforts. Many reject the Evangelical label due to its negative associations and lack a cohesive group identity, leading to a focus on broader social issues. This study contributes to comparative research on the intersection of religion and politics, highlighting how context shapes religious expression in public life.
