"Scott Coley exposes the inner workings of the religious right's propaganda-and how Christians can resist it. Good evangelical Christians are Republican. It seems like it's always been this way. That means the propaganda is working. Scott Coley trains a critical eye on the fusion of evangelicalism and right-wing politics in Ministers of Propaganda. This timely volume unravels rhetoric and biblical prooftexting that support Christo-authoritarianism: an ideology that presses Christian theology into the service of authoritarian politics. Coley's historically informed argument unsettles evangelical orthodoxy on issues like creation science or female leadership-convictions not as unchanging as powerful religious leaders would have us believe.
