God Is Back · How the Global Revival of Faith Is Changing the World

**A landmark examination of the resurgence of faith around the globe**

The Editor in Chief of *The Economist* and its Lexington columnist show how the global rise of religion will dramatically impact our century in *God Is Back*. Contrary to the popular assumption that modernism would lead to the rejection of faith, American-style evangelism has sparked a global revival. On the street and in the corridors of power the authors shine a bright light on a vast yet until now hidden world of religion.

Twenty-first-century faith is being fueled by a very American emphasis on competition and a customer-driven attitude toward salvation. Revealing how the religion boom is destabilizing politics and the global economy, *God Is Back* concludes by showing how the same American ideas that created our unique religious style can be applied to channel the rising tide of faith away from volatility and violence.
