Yet an even more surprising develop- ment has been the re-emergence of an important American phenomenon within conservatism: the far right. 3 Far right activities gained national attention during the McCarthy era, and again in 1960 as a result of the controversy over the Air Reserve Center Training Manual, the San Francisco student riots against the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC), the possibility of a young liberal Roman Catholic's becoming president of the United States, and 1 Clinton Rossiter, Conservatism in America: The Thankless Persuasion (New York, 1962), pp.

Huntington May, 2016 RIGHT-WING PARANOID BLUES: THE ROLE OF RADICALISM IN MODERN CONSERVATISM _______________ An Abstract of a Dissertation Presented to The Faculty of the Department of History University of Houston _______________ In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy _______________ By John S. Huntington May, 2016 ABSTRACT This study examines the role of radicalism within the conservative movement of the mid- twentieth century United States, specifically by analyzing the strategies and activism of the Radical Right. The onset of the Cold War after World War II created an atmosphere ripe for anti-communism, and it also paved the way for a conservative backlash to liberalism and the mid-century revival of fundamentalist evangelicalism. This zeitgeist of Cold War anti- communism and frustrations with liberalism facilitated the formation of the Radical Right—a loose network of ultraconservative organizations and leaders that used conspiracy theories and grassroots tactics to energize the right-wing base. This dissertation examines multiple groups and individuals within the Radical Right that promoted far-right ideals and functioned as a vocal minority within modern conservatism: Robert W. Welch Jr., and the John Birch Society; Billy James Hargis and the Christian Crusade; Protestants and Other Americans United For the Separation Between Church and State (POAU); Texas cowman-agitator J.

  • University Microfilms
    INFORMATION TO USERS This dissertation was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper le ft hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

  • E. Brooks Holifield Emory University in America's Pastor Grant Wacker Has
    Grant Wacker’s America’s Pastor: Billy Graham and The shaping of a nation 1 Panel Discussion at the American Society of church history conference January 9, 2016 E. Brooks Holifield Emory University In America’s Pastor Grant Wacker has given us an important treatment of one of the most prominent figures in American religious history. Billy Graham was the dominant force in the resurgence of evangelical Protestant Christianity in the United States, and to understand him better is also to gain a fruitful perspective not only on religion but also on American culture in general during the years in which he attracted hundreds of thousands of people to his crusades, countless readers to his newspaper columns, and a worldwide audience to his public appearances. Wacker has given us a lens through which to catch sight of America—or at least a considerable segment of America—during a period in which he became for many a representative of the nation as well as the Protestant church. The book is not a conventional biography but rather a series of thematic chapters that focus on the intersection between Graham’s public life and broader currents in American culture. While fundamentally appreciative of Graham’s achievements, Wacker discusses the evangelist’s shortcomings as well. America’s Pastor has received significant attention. Besides a half-dozen periodicals in the UK, it has been reviewed in scholarly journals (Christian Scholars’ Review, Foreign Affairs), magazines (Booklist, Books and Culture, Christian Century, Christianity Today, Chronicle of Higher Education, First Things, The Nation), major urban daily newspapers, and numerous established blog sites (Faith and Leadership, Patheos, US Religion).

Media, social groups, and emotions such as fear can im- pact an individual’s choice for a political candidate. This dissertation examines a historical timeline, from the 1930s to the early 1980s, of the interactions of corporations, wealthy individuals and religious leaders.

    For God and Country: The Religious Right, the Reagan Administration, and the Cold War A dissertation presented to the faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy Jeremy R. Hatfield May 2013 © 2013 Jeremy R. Hatfield. All Rights Reserved. 2 This dissertation titled For God and Country: The Religious Right, The Reagan Administration, and the Cold War by JEREMY R. HATFIELD has been approved for the Department of History and the College of Arts and Sciences by Chester J. Pach, Jr. Associate Professor of History Robert Frank Dean, College of Arts and Sciences 3 ABSTRACT HATFIELD, JEREMY R., Ph.D., May 2013, History For God and Country: The Religious Right, the Reagan Administration, and the Cold War Director of Dissertation: Chester J. Pach, Jr. In the late 1970s, a number of prominent evangelical ministers decided to become actively involved in American politics. Dubbed the New Christian Right by some, the Religious Right or the Christian Right by others, these figures immediately became very vocal about the need to restore morality to American society and to insure that the United States retained its position as a preeminent military power in the world. This dissertation examines the Religious Right’s activism in matters of American foreign policy from the late 1970s through the end of the Cold War. It illuminates the underlying theological and political beliefs that characterized the Religious Right’s politics, and explains how the Religious Right became politicized. It also demonstrates that foreign affairs played a more prominent role in the activism of the Religious Right than many historians have realized.
