| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The original aim of the research, namely an assessment of the degree of influence that Christian evangelicals in the conservative camp (the Religious Right, etc.) and the liberal camp (the Religious Left and Evangelical Left) have on U.S. politics, was largely accomplished through a comparative analysis of the nature of the positions and the movements of these two camps in regard to global environmental issues, although it did not prove possible to carry out the planned organizational analysis of the two camps. The findings revealed that the fundamentally opposed attitudes of these two camps on the issue of global warming have four aspects: (1) science (the causes of the global warming, human activity vs. a natural cycle); (2) theology (stewardship vs dominion); (3) the economy (big vs small government; and (4) politics (Democratic liberalism vs Republican conservatism).

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
第一に、宗教右派に比べて福音派左派に関しては未開拓分野であるため先行研究が少ない。また第二に、宗教右派と福音派左派を同時に扱う研究は稀有であり、その意味で学術的に先駆的な研究である。第三に、本研究の対象であるCornwall Alliance for the Stewardship of Creationの主要な活動は、Evangelical Environmental Networkなどの福音派左派の環境保護団体の批判である。本研究は、これら団体の動向を浮き彫りにし、米国社会における草の根レベルでの環境保護運動に与える影響力や限定的ながら米国政治への影響力を持つことが明らかになった。
