Excellent- More about The Nature of the Religious Right: The Struggle between Conservative Evangelicals and the Environmental Movement
Neall W. Pogue's book "The Nature of the Religious Right" explores how white conservative evangelical Christians became a political force known for hostility toward environmental legislation. Before the 1990s, they used ideas of nature to help construct the religious right movement, but their eco-friendly philosophies were overwhelmed by anti-environmentalism.

In his groundbreaking work, "The Nature of the Religious Right," Neall W. Pogue delves into the fascinating transformation of white conservative evangelical Christians into a political force renowned for its hostility towards environmental legislation. Before the 1990s, this group harnessed the power of nature to shape the religious right movement while also developing theologically grounded, eco-friendly philosophies that can be characterized as Christian environmental stewardship. On the auspicious occasion of the twentieth anniversary of Earth Day in 1990, members of this conservative evangelical community made a valiant attempt to translate their eco-friendly philosophies into tangible action. However, their efforts were met with overwhelming resistance from a growing number of leaders who propagated anti-environmentalism through public ridicule, conspiracy theories, and selective use of science.
Through a meticulous analysis of rhetoric, political expediency, and theological imperatives, "The Nature of the Religious Right" unravels the intricate role that ideas of nature played in the construction of the conservative evangelical political movement. It sheds light on why Christian environmental stewardship was once widely supported within the community and why it abruptly shifted towards opposition in the 1990s. This insightful work provides a comprehensive understanding of the complex dynamics that shaped this pivotal period in American political history.
