Religious themes were crucial to the movement's critique of its society and its prescription for a better world. We argue that such rhetoric is too often overlooked due to assumptions about Populism's essentially "economic" message; however, in order to understand Populism as a movement, it is necessary to understand the language with which it presented itself. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Journal for the Scientific Study of Religion (Wiley-Blackwell) is the property of Wiley-Blackwell and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
