Looking at the two most important Catholic lay movements, Liberation Theology and Christian Democracy, Lynch uses Nicaragua and Venezuela as case studies of how religious philosophy has fared when vested with political power.

This book traces the remarkable political career of former Virginia Governor and U.S. Senator George Allen, which has featured multiple returns from seeming oblivion. The author provides a balanced look at Allen's successes and failures, and the reader will learn as much about recent American politics as about Allen himself.

Examines Christian Democracy in Latin America from its 19th-century origins to the events of the 1990s. Chapters on land reform, nationalisation and the emergence of free market capitalism highlight the relationship between politics and economics.
