"Anand Edward Sokhey and Paul A. Djupe have done a masterful job creating this outstanding volume. Spanning polarization, the inescapable politics of race, and religious nationalism, the volume brings together insights from leading scholars across disciplines. Readers will gain a clear understanding of the factors that led evangelicals to support Trump and a sense of what one might expect from evangelical politics in the years ahead." (Laura R.
