The book explores the historical shift of evangelicalism from its progressive roots, which included support for abolition and suffrage, to its current alignment with conservative politics. Randall Balmer, an evangelical Christian and historian, uses ethnographic research and theological insights to analyze the Religious Right's entrenchment in partisan politics. He calls on liberal Christians to reclaim the rich, noble traditions of their faith, highlighting the need for a return to the original values of evangelicalism.
