Writing Right about the Religious Right
Political Research Associates has an extensive glossary. The Religion Newswriters Association has a helpful Religion Stylebook for journalists. Religious Right Watch (the site of one of the founders of Talk to Action, Scott Isebrand) has a short glossary (with lots of links) down the right column. Rachel Tabachnick posted here at Talk to Action, a glossary of terms related to "Strategic Level Spiritual Warfare" as used by the New Apostolic Reformation. Chip Berlet posted an extensive discussion of the definition of "dominionism" here at Talk to Action in the wake of a major media controversy last summer. Knotty problems of usage come up in relationship to religiously motivated violence. I attempted to highlight and sort through the problems related to such terms as "faith-based," "Christian militia," and "Islamic terrorism" at Religion Dispatches. Sara Diamond's 1989 book Spiritual Warfare: The Politics of the Christian Right included a pioneering glossary that remains useful today. A Moment to Decide: The Crisis in Mainstream Presbyterianism by Lew Daly, (an investigative report on Religious Right "renewal" groups and their efforts to neutralize the Presbyterian Church USA also contains an extensive and still useful glossary, although it was published in 2000.)
If there are other relevant glossary and usage resources that I have not mentioned here -- please do tell us about them in the comments.
