Evangelicals In Defense of Romney: A Reader 2012-07-26T15:42:00-05:00 Andre E. Johnson

LOGO Patheos Explore the world's faith through different perspectives on religion and spirituality! Patheos has the views of the prevalent religions and spiritualities of the world.

In an earlier post, our editor Andre E. Johnson, suggested that conservative evangelicals are engaging in theological cognitive dissonance as they struggle to support “Mormon” Mitt Romney over “Christian” Barack Obama. Evangelicals declare that they could not vote for someone who does not share their faith tradition, yet they are lining up behind the Romney candidacy. We thought it would interest our readers to see how some conservative evangelicals handle this theological dissonance and the rhetorical strategies many use to support someone who they believe is antithetical to their faith tradition.
