With illuminating case studies based on extensive field research, Exporting the American Gospel demonstrates how Christian fundamentalism has taken hold in many nations in Africa, Latin America and Asia.

Editorial Reviews
Review
[The authors] have made their case with welcome reability and an impressive . . . grasp of both the religious and economic dimensions involved
...a new kind of Christian fundamentalism...is spreading across the globe, the authors first look at its theological origins and permutations in the USA where it combined and simplified many elements already present in 19th and 20th century conservative Protestantism..
– NT General,(1, '97)
The authors offer an impressive amount of information about the real or apparent connections between the global spread of such fundamentalism and the expansion of U.S. influence within the social and political conditions created by economic developments in the post-Marxist era.
–Interpretation, April 1998
