While the Christian Right has been the subject of a good deal of scholarly analysis, it has not been adequately studied within a comparative context -- across time, across different institutional systems, or across different religious communities. In Sojourners in the Wilderness, a host of distinguished scholars examine these dimensions of the Christian Right. The contributors analyze the Christian Right historically -- what is its relationship today with earlier manifestations? How have its organizational structures and strategies changed over time? Sociologically -- what are the current opportunities for Christian Right inroads within African-American, Catholic, and Jewish communities?; and politically -- what accounts for the affinity between many evangelical Protestants and the Christian Right within the American political context, while such an affinity appears to be lacking in other political contexts? All of those interested in religion's role in politics and history will find this book valuable.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to journey through the Holy Land? It sure is different from my home in Alaska. Going to Israel is a very personal and spiritual experience; there is so much to take in that it's impossible to share unless you've experienced it yourself. I went to Israel with Selah Ministries for the Israel 12-12-12 Mission Trip. We were Sojourners in the Wilderness, depositing a "New Sound" in the atmosphere with worship, declaration, and proclamations. What happened in Israel over December 2012? What impact did it have over nations? Attempting to discover the answers to these questions, I learned about where we went, why we went there, and what the Bible says about the places we visited. Just as music genres, music artists, and the times we're in change the direction which humanity moves, our hope was to cause a shift from the very central point of the planet that would reach the ends of the earth. Could we cause a shift in the direction of humanity? I encourage you to join me on this journey of pilgrimage to the Holy Land and experience for yourself things you may never have known or encountered about God, His Promised Land, and His people.

The secrets of the journey stipulate certain rules. We should always feel that we are sojourners, pilgrims seeking their eternal homeland. This feeling should not disappear from our heart, mind, or body for a single moment. We should cherish it both inwardly and outwardly, lest we inadvertently forget the state of our exile, an exile in which we feed on the inextinguishable love of God. For fire can be quenched with a little water, but love, if it really burns within one's heart, nothing can quench it; - neither disdain, nor contempt, nor hostility, nor humiliation, nor indifference. If these negative feelings found a place in an enemy's heart and death itself embodied in a hostile person, even this would not quench love!

In the Land of Sojourners is made up of the thoughts and expressions of a Christian sojourner, traveling from the countryside around a village in southern India to the largely desert but oil-rich Middle East, and through the corridors of hills and valleys of the United States, on his way toward the Eternal City. The author watches generations come and go while observing from a mixed perspective of conservative and liberal cultures. In this book, you will find the vision of an immigrant, the dream of an evangelist, the hope of a Christian, and the destiny of a Sojourner. Once you start this book, you will not be able to stop reading until the end. The fifty-two chapters are essentially fifty-two memorable devotional lessons with their spiritual and charismatic beauty. John Elsadai, author of several books published in the languages of his native India, is well known among ethnic evangelical Christian communities. Most of his books are character studies of persons in the Bible, writings that expound on the moral culture that a Christian might pursue. Born into a Christian family in India, where majority populations are Hindu, John Elsadai was employed in the Middle East before he eventually migrated to the United States. He has a special talent for expressing his views and thoughts to his readers by way of examples and life experiences. Elsadai believes that any conflict in theology should be brought finally before the Cross of Christ, where it can be settled with prayer. He and his wife Elsy are parents of two daughters, Betsy Ann and Blessy Ann.

Sanctuary in the Desert is a thirty-day devotional documenting a Christians wilderness journey and discovery of Gods presence. As the travelers connection to God unfolds, his all-encompassing love is often reminiscent of the beautiful relationship between the bridegroom and the bride in the Song of Solomon in the Bible. No believer who chooses to follow Christ is exempt from the desert experience, though circumstances differ in each travelers passage. The trial by fire may be personal, financial, or economic distress from the loss of a job, home, or health. However, the purpose of the wilderness and the knowledge imparted to the sojourner remain the same. Originally titled Forty Days in the Desert . . . and Counting, the theme of this devotional is ongoing. The traveler oftentimes is bound by his perception of past failure, present immobility, and future uncertainty. Yet he moves forward, mindful that failure is a necessary evil and a facet of success. The expectation is that with every tumble, the journeyman will jump back onto his horse, re-enter the race, and ride hard until he crosses the finish line. Philippians 3:1214 aptly urges the seeker to press on toward the high calling of Jesus Christforgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead.

Biblical Israelites were sojourners--immigrants, refugees, and resident aliens in lands other than their own--for the greater part of two thousand years. Experiences as sojourners shaped their attitudes toward foreigners who sojourned with them, and came to expression in laws providing immigrants equal rights along with various "safety net" measures intended to secure their well-being. Biblical laws did not bar immigrants of any age, nation, race, or class. Nor did they require prospective immigrants to prove they were unlikely to become "public charges." These biblical laws reflected core beliefs, values, and hopes emphasized in other biblical traditions, such as genealogies linking all peoples and nations as kin and prophetic texts affirming all humankind as the LORD's people. Familiarity with biblical law may have influenced those who formulated our country's constitutional assurances that any person within our borders is entitled to due process and the equal protection of the laws. Since colonial times, America has been "open to receive . . . the oppressed and persecuted of all nations and religions" (George Washington). These biblical texts challenge us all to recognize overt and latent bigotry not only in others and in our history, but also in ourselves.

James Q. Wilson is one of America's preeminent public policy scholars. For decades, he has analyzed the changing political and cultural landscape with clarity and honesty, bringing his wisdom to bear on all facets of American government and society. This is a collection of fifteen of Wilson's most insightful essays-drawing on thirty years of his observations on religion, crime, the media, terrorism and extremism, and the old-fashioned notion of 'character.' Readers of every political persuasion will come away from this volume with a new understanding of how American politics and culture have evolved over the last half-century. These essays are not 'the grumpy words of a conservative who can't be reconciled to the realities of contemporary American life,' Wilson writes. Rather, they are straight talk from a painstaking empiricist and consummate social scientist who believes in American exceptionalism. American Politics, Then & Now is a compelling portrait of a beloved nation.

The rise of the modern Christian Right, starting with the 1976 Presidential election and culminating in the overwhelming white evangelical support for Donald Trump in the 2016 election, has been one of the most consequential political developments of the last half-century of American history. And while there has been a flowering of scholarship on the history of American conservatism, almost all of it has focused on the emergence of a conservative movement after World War II. Likewise, while much has been written about the role of Protestants in American politics, such studies generally begin in the 1970s, and almost none look further back than 1945. In this sweeping history, Gillis Harp traces the relationship between Protestantism and conservative politics in America from the Puritans to Palin. Christian belief long shaped American conservatism by bolstering its critical view of human nature and robust skepticism of human perfectibility. At times, Christian conservatives have attempted to enlist the state as an essential ally in the quest for moral reform. Yet, Harp argues, while conservative voters and activists have often professed to be motivated by their religious faith, in fact the connection between Christian principle and conservative politics has generally been remarkably thin. Indeed, with the exception of the seventeenth-century Puritans and some nineteenth-century Protestants, few American conservatives have constructed a well-reasoned theological foundation for their political beliefs. American conservatives have instead adopted a utilitarian view of religious belief that is embedded within essentially secular assumptions about society and politics. Ultimately, Harp claims, there is very little that is distinctly Christian about the modern Christian Right.
