Inspired by the remarkable success of the US Christian Right and the ascendance of the global far-right, a growing number of ultraconservative Christians in Europe are coming together, driven by a shared vision of reshaping the continent. Through their active participation in anti-gender movements and the dissemination of anti-Muslim narratives, these individuals are exerting a significant influence on the political landscape and shaping government policies. In this insightful anthology, a diverse group of contributors presents fresh perspectives on the key protagonists and the intricate networks that are working tirelessly to undermine liberal democracy in Europe, often operating behind the scenes. This groundbreaking collection is the first to bring together comprehensive case studies on the Christian Right in over 20 European countries, offering a transnational perspective and valuable insights for clergy, politicians, and academics alike. By delving into the complex dynamics and evolving strategies of this movement, the anthology provides a valuable resource for understanding the evolving political landscape in Europe and the potential challenges it poses to democratic values and social cohesion.
