Book excerpt: Documentary portrait of Christian evangelicals who have "left the Right" Over the past forty years the Religious Right has largely spoken for America's evangelicals. But this groundbreaking book by Marcia Pally reveals the "new evangelicals" -- a growing movement that espouses antimilitaristic, anticonsumerist, and liberal democratic ideals and promotes poverty relief, immigration reform, and environmental stewardship. Combining shrewd analysis with numerous fascinating interviews, Pally creates a compelling snapshot of a significant trend that is likely to impact American politics for years to come.
