Description: "This book is intended to provide insights for evangelicals, and even more so for those who are not, into the meaning of evangelical activities, aspirations, and ideologies throughout American history. It provides a fascinating insight into a stream of religion which now exerts a considerable social, political, and cultural force."--BOOK JACKET.
