Inspired by the success of the US Christian Right and the rise of the global far-right, ultraconservative Christians in Europe are joining forces and seek to reshape Europe. By assembling in anti-gender movements and sharing anti-Muslim narratives, they actively influence the political landscape and shape government policies. The contributors offer new perspectives on the protagonists and the entangled networks that work to abolish liberal democracy in Europe behind the scenes. This anthology is the first to bring together case studies on the Christian Right in over 20 European countries, providing a transnational perspective and an accessible insight for clergy, politicians, and academics alike.

Gionathan Lo Mascolo is a political scientist and author whose work currently focuses on the intersection of religion, far-right politics, and democratic erosion in Europe. As a consultant, he serves as a political advisor and program and advocacy manager for international and intergovernmental institutions, European political parties, and non-profit organizations. He worked as a war correspondent during the Arab Spring and the Syrian War and holds a BA in Intercultural Theology and Migration from FIT Hermannsburg, as well as an MA in Terrorism, Security, and Society from King's College London.

»Dieser Band ist lesenswert und wichtig, denn er legt einen scharfen analytischen Blick auf ein besorgniserregendes Phänomen in Europa, ohne dabei moralisierend zu dämonisieren.« Hans-Ulrich Probst, zeitzeichen, 5 (2024) Besprochen in: Church Times, 15.03.2024, Alexander Faludy Religion & Gesellschaft, 3-4 (2024), Regula Zwahlen www.gwi-boell.de, 21.05.2024
