It highlights how a group of committed leaders and organizations shaped political and social policies, advocating for traditional values, religious influence, and moral issues. Larson examines their strategies, key figures, and the impact on U.S. politics, illustrating how their efforts have influenced evangelical Christianity and shaped national debates on topics like family, politics, and culture over nearly a century.
