Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Seminar paper from the year 2011 in the subject American Studies - Culture and Applied Geography, grade: 1,0, University of Frankfurt (Main) (Institut für England- und Amerikastudien), language: English, comment: Analysis of an excerpt from Jerry Falwell's 'Listen America', as cited in: Hyser, Raymond M., and J.

This paper will focus on the New Christian Right of the 1980s that was shaped primarily by assertive spiritual leaders. For this purpose, an excerpt from a work by the fundamentalist preacher and leading figure of evangelical political activism, the late Rev. Jerry Falwell, will be examined. …
