About Persecution: How Liberals Are Wagin...
In Persecution: How Liberals Are Waging War Against Christianity, David Limbaugh presents a forceful critique of what he perceives as a growing hostility toward Christianity in American public life. Drawing on legal cases, media examples, and cultural anecdotes, Limbaugh argues that liberal activists, judges, and educators systematically marginalize Christian beliefs while privileging secular ideologies. He examines controversies over school prayer, religious displays, and faith-based speech, contending that these are not neutral applications of church-state separation but deliberate attacks on religious liberty. Limbaugh also explores how the media and academia reinforce this bias, creating a climate where Christians feel pressured to privatize their faith. The book is both a call to action and a defense of traditional values, urging believers to resist encroachments on their rights and to engage politically. While polemical in tone, it offers a detailed, if partisan, perspective on the culture wars surrounding religion in the United States.

It is also useful for students of political science and journalism who want to understand the conservative perspective on church-state issues. Critics of Limbaugh's views may read it to engage with opposing arguments, though the book is primarily written for sympathetic audiences.
