More about the book
The book explores the historical roots of evangelical support for left-leaning political causes, tracing back to the 1970s when campus radicals introduced neo-Marxist ideas into the church. It highlights the initial successes of progressive evangelical leaders like Jim Wallis, Ron Sider, and Richard Mouw, before the rise of the religious right overshadowed their efforts following Jimmy Carter's defeat. This context provides insight into the evolving political landscape within evangelicalism and the factors influencing their modern-day affiliations.
