Charles Marsh, Professor of Religious and Theological Studies and Director of the Project on Lived Theology, University of Virginia
"There have been several books published recently analyzing the current trend in American politics toward the right and the hijacking of the political sphere by fundamentalist Christioans there... Charles Marsh's book scores over these other books in... major repects." - Another Plane
"Marsh calls for repentance, patient waiting for grace, and a period of serious reflection in American Evangelicalism. He exemplifies a growing strand in the Evangelical weave." - Bernice Martin, TLS
