Description: Katherine Stewart is an author and journalist. Her books include The Power Worshippers and The Good News Club.
Katherine Stewart pulls back the curtain on the inner workings and leading personalities of a movement that has turned religion into a tool for political power and domination.
“Ambitious . . . The book's title is a pun, and it's an apt one. What stands out the most from this gripping volume is how a reverence for authority-if the right person is in charge-is encoded into the various strands of this movement. . . . The Power Worshippers is required reading for anyone who wants to map the continuing erosion of our already fragile wall between church and state.”
“The Power Worshippers is a timely political exposé, indispensable reading for 2020 voters regardless of their religious beliefs. . . . With more than a decade of experience covering conservative Christianity, Stewart is adept at conveying the gravity of its aims. She goes deeper than any facile culture-wars discourse, digging into the evangelical right's fervor to gain political power and privilege in the name of religious liberty.”
