Beschreibungen/Notizen

• [...]Eileen Luhr looks at the young evangelicals of the 1960s to show how they helped create a populist rhetoric of liberation that looked very much like those espoused by the student movements on the left. Kendrick Oliver explores the work of Watergate felon Charles Colson and the creation of evangelical prison ministries, where individual transformation and the punitive power of the state walked hand in hand. Axel Schäfer's essay deals with public funding of religious agencies working in the areas of education, health care, and social services, foreshadowing more recent debates about faith-based welfare.
