| Summary: | Recent literature in the social sciences documents the rise of a "New Class" of knowledge workers characterized by essentially left-liberal class interests and class ideology. Within the "Young Evangelicals," a faction of theologically conservative American Protestantism, a structural, political, and ideological parallel is explored. The evidence presented runs contrary to conventional wisdom in the social sciences, which more or less equates, as a matter of course, theological conservatism in American Protestantism with political conservatism. It is also suggested that the Young Evangelicals play a role in the religious legitimation of New Class interests and, ipso facto, in the growth of New Class power in America. |
