  • Introduction
    Notes Introduction 1. I assessed the theological significance of this literary genre in Rapture fiction and the evangelical crisis (Webster, NY: Emmaus, 2006) and traced its origins and development in Writing the rapture: Prophecy fiction in evangelical America (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2009). 2. See, for example, Steve Brouwer et al., Exporting the American Gospel: Global Christian Fundamentalism (New York: Routledge, 1996), and Gabriel Abraham Almond et al., Strong religion: The rise of fundamentalisms around the world (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2003). 3. See, for example, Steve Bruce, The rise and fall of the new Christian right: Conservative protestant politics in America, 1978–1988 (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1988); Steve Bruce et al. (eds), The rapture of politics: The Christian right as the United States approaches the year 2000 (London: Transaction Publishers, 1995); and Martin Durham, The Christian Right, the far right and the bounda- ries of American conservatism (Manchester: Manchester University Press, 2000). See also Robert Fuller, Naming the Antichrist: The history of an American obsession (New York: Oxford University Press, 1995), and, more generally on the political implications of religious conservatism, Terry Eagleton, Holy terror (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2005). 4. See, for two most useful among the many discussions of this phenomenon, Paul Boyer, When time shall be no more: Prophecy belief in modern American cul- ture (Cambridge, MA: Belknap Press of Harvard University Press, 1992), and Nicholas Guyatt, Have a nice doomsday: Why millions of Americans are looking forward to the end of the world (London: Ebury Press, 2007). On the politi- cal implications of evangelical prophetic belief, see, more generally, Erling Jorstad, The politics of doomsday: Fundamentalists of the far right (Nashville, TN: Abingdon Press, 1970); John M.

  • The Lost Environmentalists: the Struggle Between
    THE LOST ENVIRONMENTALISTS: THE STRUGGLE BETWEEN CONSERVATIVE PROTESTANTS AND THE ENVIRONMENTAL MOVEMENT, 1970-2010 A Dissertation by NEALL W. POGUE Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, Thomas R. Dunlap Co-Chair of Committee, Katherine Engel Committee Members, Harold Livesay Elizabeth Ellis Head of Department, David Vaught May 2016 Major Subject: History Copyright 2016 Neall W. Pogue ABSTRACT “The Lost Environmentalists” offers the first historical account delineating the relationship between the religious right, a major Christian fundamentalist led political movement and the hotly debated issue of environmental protection. Past scholars believe this political/religious group traditionally opposed environmental protection efforts due to their conservative militant culture and long-held theological interpretations that marginalized nature as a simple resource for humanity’s financial benefit. In contrast, I reveal new ways the religious right understood nature while they promoted its protection throughout the 1970s to the early 1990s. During the latter decade, the movement ultimately adopted anti-environmentalist views. The religious right’s relationship with nature and environmental protection is indeed complex and evolved over time. In response to Earth Day 1970, fundamentalists initially wanted to participate in the Earth Day observance. However, the secular environmental movement drove fundamentalists away by blaming Christianity for the ecological crisis. Nevertheless, the religious right continued promoting eco-friendly views as they built a national identity for themselves over the next twenty years. During this process, they portrayed nature sympathetically and in many cases understood it as equally important to economic prosperity.
