The Religious Right: A Study in American Religious FundamentalismFerris, Thomas John 08 1900 (has links)
Conservatism in America declined during the 1930's, then in the post-war years began to revive in what has been termed a "wonder"l and the most surprising development of the post-war period. Yet an even more surprising development has been the re-emergence of an important American phenomenon within conservatism: the far right.3 Far right activities gained national attention during the McCarthy era, and again in 1960 as a result of the controversy over the Air Reserve Center Training Manual, the San Francisco student riots against the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC), the possibility of a young liberal Roman Catholic's becoming president of the United States, and the alarm that President Eisenhower would soon retire from public life.

The objective of this study is to evaluate critically the radio-television activities (and their implication to American society) of the Christian Crusade, an ultra-conservative religious-pnlitical organization located in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Concentration on this group has been undertaken because 1) the Christian Crusade identifies itself as the largest anti-communist organization in the country, 2) its founder-director, Rev. Billy James Hargis, is one of the best known and most respected leaders of ultra-conservatism, 3) the Crusade employs the media of radio and television extensively to attract revenue and popular support, and 4) the organization is one of the most enduring and prosperous groups of the "radical right" (operating since 1948 with an annual budget which has been estimated as high as $1,500,000) [TRUNCATED] / 2031-01-01
