Description

Wild Faith: The Christian Right, Theocracy, and the Battle for America Talia Lavin's gripping account of the Christian right's rise to power in America is a stark warning of the dangers of extremism. Drawing on primary sources and firsthand accounts, Lavin chronicles the Christian right's relentless push to reshape the country in its image, from book bans and anti-trans laws to firebombings of abortion clinics and protests against gay rights. At the heart of this movement is a toxic ideology that has led to child abuse, anti-abortion terrorism, and the erosion of democratic values. Lavin delves into the twisted theology that drives this extremism, exploring the connections between conspiracy theorists, extremist Christians, and those in power who aid them. As the Christian right gains ascendancy in America, Lavin's book offers a timely and urgent examination of the crisis we face. By exploring the motivations and impacts of this movement, Lavin sheds light on the dark forces driving American politics today.
