David Kupelian

David Kupelian is an American journalist, editor, and cultural critic whose nonfiction examines politics, culture, media, and public institutions from a conservative Christian perspective. The Snapping of the American Mind argues that political and cultural change has affected not only government but also personal behavior, family life, education, and shared standards. Republic Book Publishers issued the revised and expanded edition through Simon & Schuster, and Kupelian is a longtime journalist and magazine editor. His other books include The Marketing of Evil and How Evil Works, forming a connected body of cultural criticism. Kupelian also serves as editor-in-chief of the WND News Center and has written extensively for that organization. Readers approaching The Snapping of the American Mind should expect argument-driven nonfiction rather than neutral social history: the book organizes examples around a distinct ideological interpretation of American decline. David Kupelian’s role as both editor and polemical author is central to understanding its selection of evidence, rhetoric, and intended audience.
