Evangelicals. Religion and Politics

The Faith That Conquers Power delivers a sharp, groundbreaking investigation into the global transformation of the evangelical movement from a spiritual community into one of the most disciplined and formidable political engines of the twenty-first century. This work dismantles the traditional boundaries separating faith and state, exposing how Pentecostal, charismatic, and neo-Pentecostal organizations have successfully built a parallel infrastructure capable of altering the geopolitical landscape.Rather than looking at this shift as an isolated phenomenon, this essay connects the dots across continents to reveal a global, synchronized strategy. The book provides an anatomy of modern religious power by exploring three critical dimensions:The Theological Blueprint: An analysis of Dominionism and Christian Nationalism, exploring how the biblical mandate to "subdue the earth" has been weaponized into a literal doctrine for institutional capture.The Financial and Media Empire: An inside look at the corporate mechanisms of megachurches, tracking how tax-exempt resources, digital media monopolies, and algorithmic mobilization turn spiritual devotion into economic and political capital.The Transnational Populist Alliance: A deep dive into the strategic convergence between religious elites and the global far-right, from the United States and secular Europe to its deep institutional roots in Latin America, driven by shared narratives against "gender ideology" and globalism.By shifting the focus from simple religious belief to institutional mechanics, this book provides an indispensable diagnostic tool for political scientists, journalists, and readers worldwide. It is a vital and urgent contribution to understanding how a global religious wave is reshaping the future of democracy, secularism, and human rights.
