God Is a Conservative: Religion, Politics, and Morality in Contemporary America Hardcover - 1998

by Kenneth J. Heineman

Surveying the past 30 years, historian Kenneth Heineman offers a revealing look at the expanding role of the conservative movement in American politics and society. Heineman ultimately questions whether moral politics are a diversion from our most pressing problems or a cure for what ails the nation.


From the publisher

From Billy Graham and Ronald Regan to Newt Gingrich and William Bennett, God is a Conservative provides an important look at the role of religion in conservative politics in modern America. Kenneth J. Heineman reveals the profoundly religious nature of contemporary conservatism, offering an intriguing look at the social history of moral politics over the last three decades, and the still tremulous aftershocks of the New Deal. With a new Preface that examines the Bush presidency, including a provocative analysis of his re-election, and the rising influence of the Conservative Right, God is a Conservative is essential reading for understanding today's American political landscape.

From the rear cover

By tracking the political evolution of such influential leaders as Patrick Buchanan, Michael Novak, Pat Robertson, and Jerry Falwell, and importantly their constituencies, Heineman reveals the profoundly religious nature of contemporary conservatism. His book offers look at the social history of moral politics over the last three decades and the still-tremorous aftershocks of the New Deal.
