Product Description
Review
"An especially important book for all who care about the rights and well-being of women and children."
Synopsis
The politics, educational policies, and social values perpetuated by Christian fundamentalists are exposed in this critical perspective on the religious rights' role in American society. Statistics and studies of the movement are offered that provide insight into the causes and characteristics of fundamentalism and its effects on minority groups including women, children, African Americans, gays, and lesbians. Essays from a variety of authors consider the path to theocracy, the effect of the theology of inerrancy on politics, and the state of fundamentalism in the United States after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
