Not by Politics Alone

"Examining how conservative evangelical groups have maintained their influence in the United States for more than two decades, Diamond shows that these groups have drawn much of their strength from a broad and loosely affiliated web of cultural institutions designed to meet their adherents' personal, as well as ideological, needs. The book offers an illuminating perspective on the nationwide proliferation of evangelical talk radio programs, publishing companies, bookstores, law firms, and music studios. Readers also gain a rare behind-the-scenes look at the formation, organizing strategies, and sometimes heated internal debates of influential national organizations such as Operation Rescue, Focus on the Family, and the Christian Coalition."--Jacket.
