End Time Politics

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“This is an important book. By expertly tracing the theological roots of Jerry Falwell, cofounder of the Moral Majority, Keri Ladner exposes the racism, contempt for the poor, American jingoism, and blind support for untrammeled capitalism--plus a huge dose of conspiracism--that infect today's religious right. Ladner, herself an evangelical Christian, uncovers an insidious, reactionary movement "that has divorced itself entirely from the Bible" and that ultimately helped produce the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol.”
