商品簡介
The recent global expansion of Protestant Christianity and the increase in multiparty democracies has led to the multiplication of Protestant political parties. Freston (Christian perspectives on political, social, and economic thought, Calvin College) offers a global survey of this phenomenon. After looking at the traditional Protestant heartlands of Europe and the English-speaking world, he traces the spread of the Protestant party model to post-communist countries, the Pacific, the Muslim world, southern Africa, and Latin America. He examines the circumstances favoring such parties and the political projects they represent. Annotation c2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
