  • Standing Athwart History: the Political Thought of William F. Buckley Jr
    No. 29 Standing Athwart History: The Political Thought of William F. Buckley Jr. Lee Edwards, Ph.D. Abstract: In the mid-1950s, the danger of an ever-expanding state was clear, but conservatives could not agree on an appropriate response, including whether the greater danger lay at home or abroad. The three main branches of conservatism—traditional conservatives appalled by secular mass society, libertarians repelled by the Leviathan state, and ex-Leftists alarmed by international Communism led by the Soviet Union—remained divided. Noting that “The few spasmodic victories conservatives are winning are aim- less, uncoordinated, and inconclusive…because many years have gone by since the philosophy of freedom has been expounded systematically, brilliantly, and resourcefully,” William F. Buckley Jr. resolved to change that. His vision of ordered liberty shaped and guided American conservatism from its infancy to its maturity, from a cramped suite of offices on Manhattan’s East Side to the Oval Office of the White House, from a set of “irritable mental gestures” to a political force that transformed American politics. In the summer of 1954, American conservatism Right.

VAN DYKE has been approved for the Department of History and the College of Arts and Sciences by Kevin Mattson Connor Study Professor of Contemporary History Robert Frank Dean, College of Arts and Sciences 3 ABSTRACT VAN DYKE, IAN E., M.A., August 2016, History Rapture and Realignment: The New Christian Right and American Conservative Views of Israel Director of Thesis: Kevin Mattson This thesis examines the ways evangelical Protestant views of Israel shaped perceptions of the Middle East among the wider American conservative movement during the second half of the twentieth century, as well as the centuries-old ideas underlying their idiosyncratic worldview. Motivated by God’s promise to Abraham to “bless those” who showed favor to his progeny and fascinated by Israel’s role in End Times prophecy, politically conservative evangelical Christians worked tirelessly to promote the cause of the Jewish State to their American audience. As they gained influence within the American conservative movement, the rhetoric of New Christian Right activists like Jerry Falwell, Tim LaHaye, and Pat Robertson helped redefine Israel in the conservative imagination. In crafting an apocalyptic worldview that translated Israel’s spiritual significance into secular politics, the New Christian Right transformed American conservatism in ways still visible today.
