The first comprehensive history of modern American evangelicalism to appear in a generation, American Apocalypse shows how a group of radical Protestants, anticipating the end of the world, paradoxically transformed it.

""The history Sutton assembles is rich, and the connections are startling."" -New Yorker

""American Apocalypse

relentlessly and impressively shows how evangelicals have interpreted

almost every domestic or international crisis in relation to Christ's

return and his judgment upon the wicked Sutton sees one of the most

troubling aspects of evangelical influence in the spread of the

apocalyptic outlook among Republican politicians with the rise of the

Religious Right American Apocalypse clearly shows just how

popular evangelical apocalypticism has been and, during the Cold War,

how the combination of odd belief and political power could produce a

sleepless night or two."" -D. G. Hart, Wall Street Journal

""American Apocalypse is the best history of American evangelicalism I've read in some time If you want to understand why compromise has become a dirty word in the GOP today and how cultural politics is splitting the nation apart, American Apocalypse is an excellent place to start."" -Stephen Prothero, Bookforum
