About this title

Review:

PRAISE FOR GOD'S HARVARD

"A rare accomplishment for many reasons--perhaps most of all because Rosin is a journalist who not only reports but also observes deeply. Her insights come through in her balanced portrayal of each student, the nuance with which she inserts her own first-person narration, and--not least--her dry and sometimes acerbic sense of humor."--San Francisco Chronicle "Nuanced and highly readable . . . [with] feisty, richly detailed prose."--The Washington Post

From the Back Cover:

ADVANCE PRAISE FOR GOD S HARVARD

"Hanna Rosin has gotten incredible access to a subculture that is fast becoming a mighty political force. This insightful book reveals the new face of the Christian right: highly educated young people brilliantly trained to advance their worldview into mainstream America. Rosin's frank and candid portraits of these fiercely dedicated youth leave the reader wondering: What will my world be like when these kids are in charge of it?" Rachel Grady, director and producer, Jesus Camp and The Boys of Baraka
Hanna Rosin's wonderful book is as insightful as it is witty.Rarely is a book on such an important subject such a joy to read. --Alan Wolfe, Boston College
I believe deeply in this amazing book by Hanna Rosin. With clarity, honesty, and equal measures of surprised delight and foreboding, she takes us into a new world of Christian higher education that few outsiders knew existed but the entire nation will be dealing with for decades to come. --David Maraniss, author of First in His Class: A Biography of Bill Clinton
By reporting among America s young Christian elite with curiosity, empathy, and persistence, Hanna Rosin has produced a book that is humane, surprising, and very unnerving. This is journalism at its best never preachy, but honest and revealing. Steve Coll, author of Ghost Wars: The Secret History of the CIA, Afghanistan, and Bin Laden, from the Soviet Invasion to September 10, 2001
