Synopsis

Behind the scenes at Patrick Henry College: &“A deft and honest narrative of evangelical education . . . historical background, close observation and skeptical wit&” (Publishers Weekly). One of the Christian Science Monitor&’s annual &“Books We Liked Best&” Take a walk down the halls and into the dorms and hearts of tiny Patrick Henry College, a Christian school just outside the nation&’s capital, where ambitious young evangelicals are groomed to become tomorrow&’s conservative elite. The future front lines of politics, entertainment, and science will be commanded by these idealistic graduates, who plan to lead the battle in reclaiming a godless nation. God&’s Harvard reveals the evangelical movement at a moment of crisis and climax, its future leaders struggling to resist the temptations of modern life even as they try to remake the world in their image. This is a vibrant, insightful look at kids who may very well be in charge of our country one day. &“A rare accomplishment for many reasons—perhaps most of all because Rosin is a journalist who not only reports but also observes deeply.&” —San Francisco Chronicle &“Rosin is at her best when chronicling sympathetically the lives of these young evangelicals, as ambitious as their secular peers but single-minded in their focus on politics.&” —Chicago Tribune &“Nuanced and highly readable . . . With her feisty, richly detailed prose.&” —The Washington Post
