Christian Encounters Series: William F. Buckley

Forlagets omtale:
'Christian Encounters', a series of biographies from Thomas Nelson Publishers, highlights important lives from all ages and areas of the Church. Some are familiar faces, others are unexpected guests. But all, through their relationships, struggles, prayers, and desires, uniquely illuminate our shared experience.William F. Buckley Jr., was the popular host of one of television's longest-running programs, 'Firing Line', and the author of more than 50 books, but his greatest achievement was making conservatism, not just electoral Republicanism but conservatism as a system of ideas, respectable in liberal post-World War II America.Buckley started National Review magazine in 1955, at the age of 29, and quickly became known as the standard-bearer of American conservatism, promoting the fusion of traditional conservatives and libertarians. His twice-weekly syndicated column, 'On the Right,' was distributed to more than 320 newspapers across the country. Buckley inspired and incited three generations of conservatives and counting-uniting anti-Communists, traditionalists, constitutionalists, and enthusiasts for free markets under one tent. 176 Pages
