About this listen
Over the last decade, the Religious Right has evolved. Some of the more extreme beliefs of American evangelicalism have begun to take hold in the mainstream. Scholar Matthew D. Taylor pulls back the curtain on a little-known movement of evangelical Christians who see themselves waging spiritual battles on a massive scale. Known as the New Apostolic Reformation, this network of leaders and believers yields colossal influence, galvanizing support for Trump and far-right leaders around the world. In this groundbreaking account, Taylor explores the New Apostolic Reformation from its inception in the work of a Fuller Seminary professor, to its immense networks of apostles and prophets, to its role in the January 6 riot.
Taylor's unprecedented access to the movement's leaders, archives, internal conference calls, and correspondence gives us an insider account of the connection between charismatic evangelicalism and hard-right rhetoric. Taylor delves into prophetic memes like the Seven Mountains Mandate, the Appeal to Heaven flag, and the Cyrus Anointing; Trump's spiritual advisor Paula White's call for "angelic reinforcements"; and Sean Feucht and Bethel Music's titanic command of worship styles across America. Throughout, Taylor maps a movement of magnetic leaders and their uncompromising beliefs—and where it might be headed next.

A partisan revival?
Taylor does an impressive job in profiling the key players and influences that comprise the independent charismatic Movement that is slowly increasing in scale and capability. Taylor is able to carefully identify the origins and stories of these leaders and weave into a coherent and compelling account of how this brand of charismatic worship and theology has become almost indistinguishable from the MAGA movement and the associated culture we find ourselves. Astonishing discoveries include the relationship between Trump and this 4th quadrant beginning in 2002 and continuing to this day – Taylor explains succinctly how the Seven mountain mandate can embrace a person with a character like Trump as part of its Christian takeover of society. This book will be worth reviewing in 2028 so we can compare and contrast where both the
MAGA Movement and the fourth quadrant of US religion is at.

An important read for people who want to learn understand America and American Christianity and politics
Well researched. Obviously coming from a non charismatic background but tries to be even handed. An important and eye opening read. For me personally the connection to Donald McGavran is enlightening and concerning
