The New Christian Right of the 1970s and 1980s largely failed to achieve its objectives because of its inability to build broad-based coalitions and effective grassroots organizations. The second coming of the New Christian Right has attempted to avoid the particularism that plagued the earlier incarnation. This paper examines whether the Christian Right has succeeded in broadening its religious coalitions. Methods. The authors analyze data from surveys of Christian Right delegates to Republican party conventions. Results. The statistical patterns show that a large percentage of participants from different ecumenical backgrounds are represented in the New Christian Right. This was less true in the first generation Christian rights groups. Conclusions. Particularism is not a factor in explaining support for Christian Right candidates. Journal Information The Social Science Quarterly was founded as the Southwestern Political Science Quarterly in 1920. It was the first social science journal published in the United States by a regional social science organization. The interdisciplinary character of the journal was made explicit in 1923 when the journal became the Southwestern Political and Social Science Quarterly. Eight years later it was renamed Southwestern Social Science Quarterly. In 1968, as part of the decision to deemphasize the regional nature of the journal and stress its interdisciplinary social scientific aspect, the name of the journal was changed to Social Science Quarterly. Today the journal has international stature both in terms of its authors and its subscribers. The journal publishes research, theoretical essays, position papers, and book reviews by economists, geographers, historians, political scientists, sociologists, and other social scientists, but its preference is for papers which bridge two or more of these disciplines. By the late 1980s circulation for the publication was about 2,700. Publisher Information Founded in 1950, the University of Texas Press publishes over 90 books per year and 11 journals in a wide range of fields. In addition to publishing the results of original research for scholars and students, UT Press publishes books of more general interest for a wider public. It also has a special obligation to the people of Texas to publish authoritative books on the history, culture, arts, and natural history of the state and region.

This paper establishes a link between media (particularly talk radio listening and newspaper reading) usage and how people view the Christian Coalition. Methods. 1996 American National Election Study data are analyzed with multivariate regression. Results. There is a significant relationship between media consumption and perceptions of the Coalition even when various factors (ideology, party identification, religious beliefs, political knowledge, socioeconomic status, race, and region) are controlled. The relationship is more powerful when the sample includes only potential joiners of the Christian Coalition. Conclusions. While media consumption may not be the most powerful predictor of how people feel toward interest groups, its importance may be to provide information to potential joiners. This information could determine the fate of marginal membership-based groups. Journal Information The Social Science Quarterly was founded as the Southwestern Political Science Quarterly in 1920.
