Evangelicals remerged from the depths with the election of Jimmy Carter in 1976 bringing the religion back into the political world after a dying out in the 1920s. Until the 1970s evangelicals were not a large factor in the political scene, a political scientist Lyman A. Kellsetdt's data proved that evangelicals were "less likely to be involved in campaign activities than other religious groups."1Carl Henry is considered the architect of neo-evangelism for carrying evangelicalism to the forefront of politics in the 1970s. When the Vietnam war started to make headlines Carl Henry spoke out with a pro war standpoint. However, Jim Wallis, another evangelical activist, took the stage and took Henry's argument and ran the other way saying American involvement in this war is wrong. John Alexander was also an evangelical figurehead. Alexander's actions towards racial justice were equivalent to the evangelical's views and actions, very inconsistent. The political view on racial justice of the evangelicals is one of their downfalls. Many believed in justice and spoke out against segregation, but hesitated to take any major action against things such as the Jim Crow laws. This seemed to be a reoccurring problem with many political issues for the evangelicals because the Bible gives them no party platform to follow. Since the lines on issues such as race and war were blurred and leadership divided within the group, evangelicals had no political identifier. Choosing to support racial justice and opposing the war slid them under the Democratic platform. But with the Catholic church making a stance for Pro Life the evangelicals saw their growing movement and wanted to emulate that power. So the evangelical's hopped on board with signs screaming "Choose Life: All Life is Sacred." The Democrats however were Pro Choice on this platform leaving the evangelicals stranded now somewhere in the middle of the two parties. Meanwhile the Republican party started to compete for the votes of the more conservative evangelicals which started to unravel the group even more. The New Left criticizing capitalism, supporting Sandinistas in Nicaragua, and opposing war earned them the label of "socialists" which plunged them to their political death. This is Schwartz's main argument. The evangelical left had a great and powerful rise led by many great people, but in the end they just could find no political home. Meanwhile the Christian right created their own cultural agenda to rally around which made the left look even more lost. Some of the evangelicals began using protesting methods that were very activist, right-wing Christian style to try and gain more attention. One example the author uses is the intense moment when a protestor scolded the 1,700 delegates from a balcony at a plenary session, and then the audience began to sing "Amazing Grace."2 While trying to distance themselves from the religious right
