''Williams...does as well as any writer to date in answering the
basic questions of what went into making up the religious right.''
--The New Republic
''Thoroughly researched and engagingly written...God's Own Party
should serve as the standard history of the latest Protestant Right
for the foreseeable future.'' --Journal of American History
''A wonderfully thorough account of the Christian Right...A bright
example of sound methodology, clear and concise prose, and rigorous
analysis. Based on years of painstaking research in a multitude of
periodicals, personal and political papers, and organizational
records, God's Own Party effectively transports the reader through
time, charting the development of Christian right-wing activism
over the course of ninety years.'' --Journal of Southern
Religion
''The best general study of the Religious Right.'' --Church
History
"I have long sought a book that would present the history of how
the GOP became, in the mind of most conservative Christians, God s
Own Party...This is the book I have been waiting for...For an
interesting and objective history of the Christian Right, I highly
recommend Williams book. --Laurence M. Vance, LewRockwell.com
"[T]his book is a needed addition to scholarship on the rise of the
New Right."--Religious Studies Review
