Since 2000, America’s most ambitious young evangelicals have
been making their way to Patrick Henry College, a small
Christian school just outside the nation’s capital. Most of
them are homeschoolers whose idealism and discipline put the
average American teenager to shame. And God’s Harvard grooms
these students to be the elite of tomorrow, dispatching them
to the front lines of politics, entertainment, and science,
to wage the battle to take back a godless nation. Hanna
Rosin spent a year and a half embedded at the college,
following the students from the campus to the White House,
Congress, conservative think tanks, Hollywood, and other
centers of influence. Her account captures this nerve center
of the evangelical movement at a moment of maximum influence
and also of crisis, as it struggles to avoid the temptations
of modern life and still remake the world in its own image.
