With illuminating case studies based on extensive field research, Exporting the American Gospel demonstrates how Christian fundamentalism has taken hold in many nations in Africa, Latin America and Asia.

One of the most significant cultural influences exported from the United States, this fusion of popular religion and politics supports new capitalist and patriarchal structures and a global culture of consumption and consumer gratification.
