Lynerd\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhite evangelicals occupy strange property on the ideological map in America, exhibiting a pronounced commitment to the principle of limited government, and yet making a significant exception for issues relating to personal morality - an exception many observers take to be paradoxical at best. Explanations of this phenomenon usually point to the knotty political alliance evangelicals built with free-market types in the late twentieth century, but sermonic evidence suggests a deeper and longer intellectual thread, one that has pervaded evangelical thought all the way back to the American founding. \u003cbr\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eRepublican Theology\u003c\/em\u003e, Benjamin Lynerd offers an historical and theological account of the hybrid position evangelicals have long affected to hold in American culture - as champions of individual liberty \u003cem\u003eand\u003c\/em\u003e as guardians of American morality. Lynerd documents the development of a resilient, if problematic, tradition in American political thought, one that sees a free republic, a virtuous people, and an assertive Christianity as mutually dependent. Situating the recent rise of the \"New Right\" within this larger framework, \u003cem\u003eRepublican Theology\u003c\/em\u003e traces the contentious political journey of evangelicals from its earliest moments, laying bare the conceptual tensions built into their civil religion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBenjamin T.
