An invaluable, scholarly work

Part of the ABC-CLIO "Contemporary World Issues" series, The Religious Right is now available in an expanded and updated second edition. Collaboratively prepared by Glenn H. Utter (Professor and Chair of the Political Science Department, Lamar University, Beaumont, Texas) and John W. Storey (Professor and Chair at the History Department, Lamar University), The Religious Right is an impressive, 395 page compendium that provides comprehensive information on the American "religious right", its formation and advocacy involvement with key political and social issues. From the Christian Coalition; to the domination of the Kansas Board of Education by religious fundamentalists; to then Texas Governor George Bush's dedication of June 10, 2000 as "Jesus Day" in the Lone Star State, The Religious Right is an invaluable, scholarly work, and a strongly recommended addition to academic American Studies, Religious Studies, and Political Science Studies reference collections.
