The politics; educational policies; and social values perpetuated by Christian fundamentalists are exposed in this critical perspective on the religious right's role in American society. Statistics and studies of the movement are offered that provide insight into the causes and characteristics of fundamentalism and its effects on minority groups including women; children; African Americans; gays; and lesbians. Essays from a variety of authors consider the path to theocracy; the effect of the theology of inerrancy on politics; and the state of fundamentalism in the United States after the September 11; 2001; terrorist attacks.

CurtnerThe book is a rambling meditation and an intutitve look at the potential interaction with elementals with a focus on the thunder beings. The book provides a look into the personal integrative process of the author; so it has gaps and inconsistencies... Oh WellThe addition of illustrations to provide visual reference and examples would be a great benefit.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. not easy to readBy AmaliaIf you are already an adept in these areas; then this book may prove useful. Since I am not; I found it to be very rambling in nature.4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. All thunder - no iconographyBy Lama Tendzin DorjeThis book's scope takes in Buddhism; Hinduism and Taoism with helpful examples taken from Native American legend (huh?). Inter alia; the author (a young American gentleman) imparts items of "information" that make me question his erudition. For instance; Jehovah is an emanation of Shiva and (spoiler alert) Atlantis and Lemuria were real.Curiously; for a book claiming to be about "iconography" it has not one illustration. Indeed; despite the book's subtitle; it does not actually deal with "The Iconography of Thunder Beings" at all. If you're curious about the iconography of oriental deities (or; as this book has it; "Deity's"); I would suggest you try one of the many excellent books by Professor Lokesh Chandra. I'm not at all sure that "Samudranath" knows what "iconography" means.
