Standing on the Premises of God

Description:

"Taking the novel approach of framing the Christian Right as a revitalization movement, Detwiler shows how it seeks to effect cultural transformation in order to bring public education - and our society more generally - in line with its world view. He provides insights into why education is so pivotal to the Christian Right, and offers an assessment of the religious viability of the Christian Right as a social movement."--BOOK JACKET.
