The book explores the influence of various Christian traditions on global democratization, particularly since the 1970s. It provides a historical context of Christianity's relationship with democracy, addressing key themes such as the Roman Catholic Church's shift towards supporting democratic principles, the Eastern Orthodox Church's ambivalence, and concerns over conservative Protestantism's impact on American democracy. Additionally, it examines the potential effects of the rising global presence of Pentecostalism on democratic development, offering a nuanced perspective on faith and governance.
