Beginning with the emergence of the New Left out of the tumultuous
1960s, the first two installments of Tribulation Cult stretch over three
generations, climaxing with the election of 2048. Center stage are four
college friends who follow divergent life paths-- two Christians who
become ministers, their liberal counterparts who rise to the summit of
world politics. The journeys of the four focus many interconnected
themes in the lives of men and women who must decide where they stand as
the nation increasingly splits along liberal and conservative lines, and
what role the church is meant to play in that divide. Will true
Christians be viewed as a cult, ostracized from mainstream society,
culture, and politics?
