G. Hart, Wall Street Journal  “American Apocalypse is the best history of American evangelicalism I’ve read in some time…If you want to understand why compromise has become a dirty word in the GOP today and how cultural politics is splitting the nation apart, American Apocalypse is an excellent place to start.” —Stephen Prothero, Bookforum","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53669321179409,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780674975439.jpg?v=1781507650","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/products\/books-american-apocalypse-by-matthew-avery-sutton","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
