On the street and in the corridors of power, religion is surging worldwide. From Russia to Turkey to India, nations that swore off faith in the last century—or even tried to stamp it out—are now run by avowedly religious leaders. Formerly secular conflicts like the one in Palestine have taken on an overtly religious cast. God is Back shines a bright light on this huge, hidden world of faith, from exorcisms in Sao Paulo to religious skirmishing in Nigeria, to televangelism in California and house churches in China.
Many things have helped spark the global revival of religion, including the failure of communism and the rise of globalism. But, above all, twenty-first century religion is being fuelled by an emphasis on competition and a customer-driven approach to salvation. These qualities have characterised this country's faith ever since the Founders separated church and state, creating a religious free market defined by entrepreneurship, choice, and personal revelation. As market forces reshape the world, the tools and ideals of evangelism are now spreading everywhere.
