Thy Kingdom Come

Thy Kingdom Come: An Evangelical's Lament. How the Religious Right Distorts the Faith and Threatens America.
by
Randall Balmer
(Basic Books, 2006)

An Evangelical insider's view of the defrauded and subverted religious right movement which has become "virutally indistinguishable from the Republican Party platform." Fascinating first hand accounts of the internal struggles and divisions that are destroying the religious right as they become a partisan political movement, not a religious faith. Explores who and what organizations and groups are accountable and offers remedies. This book shows vividly why the Founders were correct in demanding a separation of church and state.

Tony Campolo says:

"Randall Balmer knows Evangelicalism inside and out. He writes with the ambivalence of a jilted lover who still cares very much about the movement but who is broken-hearted due to its subversion by right wing politics. Thy Kingdom Come is a must-read for anyone who wants to know what happened to us."
