The 1980s saw the rise of the Religious Right-a movement within American Christianity that yoked together conservative theology with conservative politics, and that encouraged evangelical Christians to organize on behalf of a conservative social and political agenda. Evangelical Christians, who had for the fifty years largely eschewed involvement in politics, emerged by the early 1980s as a political force to be reckoned with. Their support for Ronald Reagan helped reshape American politics and culture-and their encounter with Reagan's America also reshaped, if more subtly, the culture and priorities of the evangelical church.
