Bush's calling

In: Commentary, Band 119, Heft 6, S. 49-53

Abstract

Examines George W. Bush's religiosity, contextualizing it within an American tradition of evangelical piety and exploring connections between Bush's evangelism and his domestic and international policy agendas. Liberal attacks on the president's religious convictions stem from resentment that Bush's approach is nearer than theirs to the spirit of the nineteenth-century progressive social reform movement.
