A Book written for PHD's
By George
I tried to read this book because it was a gift and because of my interest in end time events. The writers are obviously very smart persons. But the use of 25 cent words that are hard to understand versus 5 cent words that communicate make the reading a tedious chore. Long paragraphs with 25 cent words is the formula for failure to communicate except for those already familiar with the subject. Example: "This chapter is concerned with these geopolitical power relations as they are aligned with American foreign policy mappings of the world and how the changing geopolitical themes present in the dispensationalist writings of Cold War evangelical authors Hal Lindsey, Tim LaHaye, and John Walvoord are reterritorialized by post-Cold War evangelical authors Joel Rosenberg, Mark Hitchcock and Charles Dyer" page 134
Any way to return for credit?
Product Description
Over the last quarter-century, evangelicalism has become an important social and political force in modern America. Here, new voices in the field are brought together with leading scholars such as William E. Connolly, Michael Barkun, Simon Dalby, and Paul Boyer to produce a timely examination of the spatial dimensions of the movement, offering useful and compelling insights on the intersection between politics and religion. This comprehensive study discusses evangelicalism in its different forms, from the moderates to the would-be theocrats who, in anticipation of the Rapture, seek to impose their interpretations of the Bible upon American foreign policy. The result is a unique appraisal of the movement and its geopolitical visions, and the wider impact of these on America and the world at large.
