Stone (religious studies and American culture, U. of California-Berkeley) seeks to account for the emergence of the coalition among denominations and independent churches during the 1940s and 1950s that defined the postwar evangelical movement, and the fracturing and decline of that coalition from the 1960s to the 1990s. He focuses on the moderate protestants, as distinct from the fundamentalist on the right and liberals on the left. He offers insight into both the historical period and the mechanisms of ideological movements and shifts over time. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
