Bringing together fresh research and innovative interpretations, this book demonstrates that evangelicals actually participated in broader American developments during \"the long 1960s,\" that the evangelical constituency was more diverse than often noted, and that the notion of right-wing evangelical politics as a backlash was a later creation serving the interests of both Republican-conservative alliances and their critics. Evangelicalism's involvement \u003ci\u003ewith\u003c\/i\u003e--rather than its reaction \u003ci\u003eagainst\u003c\/i\u003e--the main social movements, public policy initiatives, and cultural transformations of the 1960s proved significant in its 1970s political ascendance. Twelve essays that range thematically from the oil industry to prison ministry and from American counterculture to the Second Vatican Council depict modern evangelicalism both as a religious movement with its own internal dynamics and as one fully integrated into general American history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Axel R.
