By Rob Boston

Book Description

In this penetrating examination, Rob Boston unveils the far-reaching influence of televangelist Pat Robertson and his Christian Coalition, revealing how this religious-political movement has quietly reshaped American politics. Through careful analysis of Robertson's own statements and writings, Boston demonstrates how this powerful organization has extended its reach across media, education, and legal spheres while maintaining an agenda that many Americans remain unaware of.

Boston explores how Robertson's vision of governance would fundamentally alter religious freedom in America, potentially restricting liberties for women, LGBTQ individuals, and even Christians who practice different forms of faith. The author reveals how the Coalition's growing control within the Republican Party creates pathways for implementing this theocratic vision, regardless of whether Robertson himself holds elected office.

By examining the systematic dismantling of church-state separation, this work offers readers crucial insights into how religious movements can accumulate political power while operating beneath public awareness. Boston's investigation into Robertson's documented words and goals provides a sobering look at how spiritual authority can be leveraged to reshape democratic institutions.

For those seeking to understand the intersection of faith and politics in modern America, this analysis offers essential perspective on how religious conviction can evolve into political control, challenging readers to consider the delicate balance between spiritual influence and democratic governance.
