A Serious Definition of the Religious Right

There is much weeping and gnashing of teeth of late in regards to the religious right, a term that is used more often than not as a perjorative. Those that use it as such tend, I think for obvious reasons, not to define the term.

My definition of the religious right is one who holds a high view of Scripture, that its meaning can be known (interpretation), and that its actual meaning is to be applied to one's life (application) to, as St. Paul says, conform oneself to the image of Christ.

Dr. John Mark Reynolds offers a much more detailed definition of the religious right. It is worth the read and contemplation.
