In God at the Grassroots 2016: The Christian Right in American
Politics, a distinguished group of political scientists, many of whom
have been studying the Christian Right for more than two decades,
assess the 2016 elections from the standpoint of religious
conservative activism. These elections, more than any that they have
analyzed, best tell the story of the resilience of this movement and
its enduring importance. The contributors address the evolution of the
religious right movement for more than two decades and focus primarily
on the movement’s role in the 2016 elections. The first section
examines the broader national context, with chapters on the Republican
nomination campaign, the general election, and the relationship
between the religious right and the tea party. The second section
comprises state-specific chapters, focusing primarily on the crucial
states in the 2016 presidential contest. They conclude with lessons
learned from the studies of the religious right in the elections from
1994 through 2016 and address directions for continued research on the
subject. Contributions by Joseph Cella, Kimberly H. Conger, Matthew
