Abstract

The article focuses on the life and legacy of Pat Robertson, a prominent religious broadcaster and political figure who founded the Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN) and played a significant role in intertwining religion with Republican Party politics in the United States. Robertson, who passed away at the age of 93, was known for his influential television show "700 Club" and for founding the Christian Coalition, which mobilized conservative voters in the 1990s. His ventures included Regent University and the American Center for Law and Justice, and he was recognized for his controversial statements on various social issues. Robertson's impact on American religious broadcasting and politics was profound, shaping the landscape for future evangelical engagement in political processes. [Extracted from the article]
