Umschlagtext
Inspired by the success of the US Christian Right and the rise of the global far-right, ultraconservative Christians in Europe are joining forces and seek to reshape Europe. By assembling in anti-gender movements and sharing anti-Muslim narratives, they actively influence the political landscape and shape government policies. The contributors offer new perspectives on the protagonists and the entangled networks that work to abolish liberal democracy in Europe behind the scenes. This anthology is the first to bring together case studies on the Christian Right in over 20 European countries, providing a transnational perspective and an accessible insight for clergy, politicians, and academics alike.
Gionathan Lo Mascolo, Author and Advocacy Manager, Germany Rezension
Christliche Evangelikale und Fundamentalisten sowie auch erzkonservativ-reaktionäre katholische Bewegungen neigen nicht nur in den USA, sondern auch z.B. in Brasilien und Europa zum Autoritarismus, zu anti-demokratischen Gesinnungen, zur Intoleranz und zu Verschwörungstheorien, was angesichts von Covid-19 auch deutlich in Deutschland festzustellen war. Donald Trump wurde und wird maßgeblich von der Christlichen Rechten vor allem in den Südstaaten des sog. Bible-Belts in den USA unterstützt; sie sind gegen Abtreibung, gegen Einwanderung, gegen LGBTQ, gegen die liberale Demokratie etc. Dieses Buch leuchtet detailliert die christliche Rechte in den Ländern Europas aus. Religiöse Sprache und Symbole werden von der christlichen Rechten für den politischen Populismus instrumentalisiert. In der transnationalen Perspektive wird der Einfluß der christlichen Rechten auf die europäische Politik deutlich.

Critic's Reviews »An invaluable collection of empirical studies covering all of Europe. It demonstrates that the emergence of the Christian Right in Europe is a novel, epochal, and quasi-global phenomenon, driven by the globalization of culture wars and by the consolidation of transnational, mainly transatlantic, networks into a Moralist International.« (José Casanova, Emeritus Professor at Georgetown University) »A welcome addition to the study of the burgeoning Christian Right, with sweeping geographic scope and a comprehensive analysis that upends many of the assumptions the public makes about the secular nature of European society and politics. A must-read for anyone who wants to understand how the new European Christian Right is shaping social and cultural opposition to abortion, same-sex marriage, the LGBTQ+ community, and broader attacks on gender in the name of ›traditionalism‹« (Cynthia Miller-Idriss, Director, Polarization and Extremism Research and Innovaation Lab [PERIL], American University) »Much has been written about the Christian Right in the US, but very little about their European allllies. This first-of-a-kind volume offers a comprehensive set of case studies along with integrative essays. It is a must-read for anyone trying to understand the rightward turn of liberal democracies across the West.« (Philip Gorski, Frederick and Laura Goff Professor, Yale University) »This authoritative book brings a wealth of insights and knowledge to examine Euroope's Christian Right, with links to right-wing populist parties and political movements across the region. The book is a must-read for anyone interested in the state of politics in Europe today.« (Jeffrey Haynes, Emeritus Professor at London Metropolitan University) »The Christian Right in Europe is an essential resource for anyone seeking to understand the global reach of Christian nationalism and the extensive web of transatlantic networks and influences.« (Kristin Kobes Du Mez, New York Times- bestselling author of »Jesus and John Wayne: How White Evangelicals Corrupted a Faith and Fractured a Nation«) Inhaltsverzeichnis
