Republican Theology: The Civil Religion of American Evangelicals Oxford University Press Congratulations, Ben! As Benjamin T. Lynerd contends, the rise of the New Right movement at the end of the twentieth century had as much to do with small-government ideology as with a recovery of traditional morality. This libertarian ethos combined with restrictive public moralism is conflicted, and it creates friction both within the New Right alliance and within the church, particularly among evangelicals interested in social justice. Still, it has formed the entire subtext of evangelical participation in American politics from the 1770s into the twenty-first century. Lynerd looks at the evolution of evangelical civil religion, or republican theology to demonstrate how evangelicals navigate this logic. amazon/Republican-Theology-Religion-American-Evangelicals/dp/0199363560/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1399136059&sr=8-2&keywords=Benjamin+Republican
