Once in office, his faith indeed helped form policy on a number of controversial moral issues. By acknowledging certain behaviors as sinful while insisting that they were private matters beyond government interference, the author argues, Carter unintentionally alienated both social liberals and conservative Christians, thus ensuring that the debate over these moral "family issues" acquired a new prominence in public and political life. The Carter era, according to the author, stood at a fault line in American culture, religion, and politics. In the wake of the 1960s, some Americans worried that the traditional family faced a grave crisis. This newly politicized constituency viewed secular humanism in education, the recognition of reproductive rights established by Roe v. Wade, feminism, and the struggle for homosexual rights as evidence of cultural decay and as a challenge to religious orthodoxy. Social liberals viewed Carter's faith with skepticism and took issue with his seeming unwillingness to build on recent progressive victories. Ultimately, thar author argues, conservative Christians emerged as the Religious Right and were adopted into the Republican fold. Examining Carter's struggle to placate competing interests against the backdrop of difficult foreign and domestic issues, struggling economy, the stalled Strategic Arms Limitation Talks, disputes in the Middle East, handover of the Panama Canal, and the Iranian hostage crisis, the author shows how a political dynamic was formed that continues to this day. 000438876 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000438876 60010 $$aCarter, Jimmy,$$d1924-$$xPolitical and social views. 000438876 60010 $$aCarter, Jimmy,$$d1924-$$xReligion. 000438876 650_0 $$aFamilies$$xPolitical aspects$$zUnited States$$xHistory$$y20th century. 000438876 650_0 $$aReligious right$$zUnited States$$xHistory$$y20th century. 000438876 650_0 $$aChristian conservatism$$zUnited States$$xHistory$$y20th century. 000438876 650_0 $$aChristianity and politics$$zUnited States$$xHistory$$y20th century. 000438876 651_0 $$aUnited States$$xPolitics and government$$y1977-1981. 000438876 651_0 $$aUnited States$$xSocial conditions$$y1960-1980. 000438876 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 000438876 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aFlippen, J.
