Rezensionen

"Trumpism and evangelicalism might seem like strange bed fellows. But Pally shows it's a match made in heaven. Far from a mere marriage of convenience, the confluence of right-wing populism and conservative evangelicalism is a matter of cultural and political affinities with deep roots in American history."--Philip Gorski, Frederick and Laura Goff Professor of Sociology and Religious Studies, Yale University

"This accessible and compelling book reviews the contemporary relationship between white evangelicals and right-wing populism, showing the assemblage of ideas, concerns, and historical factors that brought this intersection into being. By setting this relationship in a broader historical context, Pally shows how this intersection is neither inevitable nor necessary." --Luke Bretherton, Robert E. Cushman Distinguished Professor of Moral & Political Theology, Duke University

"An illuminating journey down the rabbit hole of white evangelical support for far-right authoritarian populism in the US. Pally combines rigorous scholarship with clear argument to show that all seemingly secular politics is theological in a certain guise. A realignment away from both liberal technocracy and demagogic populism will require a radical yet traditional religious revival." --Adrian Pabst, Professor of Politics at the University of Kent and author of Postliberal Politics.
