SINOPSE

Underlining how both sides of the liberal-conservative divide have diluted their message through political idioms, Collins suggests a way forward for evangelical political identity that avoids the pitfalls of fundamentalism and liberalism.Will American evangelicalism outlive its partisan history? As Kenneth Collins tells the story, there is reason to think so.
