PRAISE FOR GOD'S HARVARD "A rare accomplishment for many reasons--perhaps most of all because Rosin is a journalist who not only reports but also observes deeply. Her insights come through in her balanced portrayal of each student, the nuance with which she inserts her own first-person narration, and--not least--her dry and sometimes acerbic sense of humor." --San Francisco Chronicle "Nuanced and highly readable . . . [with] feisty, richly detailed prose." --The Washington Post, Hanna Rosin has gotten incredible access to a subculture that is fast becoming a mighty political force. This insightful book reveals the new face of the Christian Right: highly educated young people brilliantly trained to advance their world view into mainstream America. Rosin's frank and candid portraits of these fiercely dedicated youth leave the reader wondering: what will my world be like when these kids are in charge of it?, By reporting among America's young Christian elite with curiosity, empathy, and persistence, Hanna Rosin has produced a book that is humane, surprising, and very unnerving. This is journalism at its best--never preachy, but honest and revealing., It''s easy, based on the book''s title alone, to assume that Rosin is out to demonize the young evangelicals at Patrick Henry, to damn them in the scathing light of their own inflexible beliefsBut Rosin is a better and more honest writer than that. Despite her own aversion to fundamentalist dogmashe steers largely clear of political ax-grinding., ... how can a school introduce some of the country''s most sheltered youth to the ways of the secular world--even in hopes they will reshape it--without their being corrupted in the process? It''s a dilemma that makes for constant tension in Hanna Rosin''s nuanced and highly readable God''s Harvard., Whether these kids terrify or delight you has everything to do with your political and religious views but, one way or the other, they are people that you should probably start getting to know. God's Harvard: A Christian College on a Mission to Save America by Hanna Rosin offers an intriguing introduction., "Hanna Rosin reminds us in "God''s Harvard" why there is no substitute for good reporting and beautiful story telling. Rosin enters some of the most contested terrain of American public life, the world of evangelical Christianity, and provides readers with both an outsider''s view and an insider''s perspective. Human beings, not stick figures, populate this book, reflecting Rosin''s approach, which is simultaneously tough-minded and sensitive. Readers who never expected to read about this subject will find themselves drawn in, and fascinated.", PRAISE FOR GOD'S HARVARD "A rare accomplishment for many reasons--perhaps most of all because Rosin is a journalist who not only reports but also observes deeply.

Synopsis
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., Since 2000, America s most ambitious young evangelicals have been making their way to Patrick Henry College, a small Christian school just outside the nations capital. Rosins account captures this nerve center of the evangelical movement.
