Book Preview:

#1 Protestant fundamentalism has dominated American society for the past two centuries, and it has been mobilized in the modern era.

#2 The 1960s was a transformative decade for the South, as the region was exposed to existential crisis for the first time. The Bible was under scrutiny, and theologians suggested that the Good Book was a profound work of literature rather than a chronicle of historical fact.

#3 The Southern Baptist Convention remained apart from other Protestant denominations during the war, and in 1962 the Supreme Court ended public school prayer. The fundamentalists were outraged.

#4 The 1960s saw a shift in the way the Baptist Church viewed its beliefs. While many conservatives were simply fed up with the liberal changes their church was undergoing, others saw it as a way to get power and push their conservative views.
