About the Book

This is a study of the role of the Christian Right in Virginia Republican politics from 1978 to the 1994 senatorial race. It places Virginia politics in a national setting, and looks at the struggles between Republican Party centrists and Christian Right activists. a detailed analysis is given of the 1993 state-wide elections, and the 1994 senatorial contest, both of which attracted national attention. A range of sources are utilized, including mail surveys from delegates to Republican state and national conventions; in-person interviews of delegates at the 1993 and 1994 state conventions; and over 100 interviews with Virginia Republicans and Christian Right leaders and activists. The authors look at how Christian Right Republicans make their voices heard at party conventions, get out the conservative vote, and make their presence felt in elections way beyond their numberical strength.

Review :
"[Rozell and Wilcox] look at two races in particular where fundamentalist Christians were a major force in the nominations of statewide candidates -- that of conservative home-schooling activist Mike Farris for lieutenant governor in 1993 and Iran-Contra figure Oliver North for the U.S. Senate in 1994 -- only to see them lose in their respective general elections."--Preston Bryant, 'The Roanoke (Va.) Times' "Rozell and Wilcox have authored a highly readable account of the rise of the Christian Right within the Republican Party in Virginia. Unlike many recent political science monographs, the writing is lively, absorbing, and suitable for the general reader. Anyone interested in Virginia politics should read what is sure to become an important book."--Henry L. Waller, 'The Richmond State' "While the focus of their research is, as the subtitle states, on Virginia, their thorough description of the Christian Right's increasing presence in local, state, and national Republican Party politics is applicable across the country."--A. Didrick Castberg, 'Perspectives on Political Science'
