Gabriel Raeburn studies American religious and political history, focusing on the rise of the Religious Right throughout the twentieth century. He is interested in religious groups outside of mainstream evangelicalism who have played a central role in the Prosperity Gospel, the explosion of religious broadcasting in the United States, as well as how these groups interact with modern American politics.
Gabriel is also at work on a side project on radical historians in the United States in the 1970s, particularly Eugene D. Genovese.
