Rosin is the author of "God's Harvard: A Christian College on a Mission to Save America" (ISBN 978-0-15-101262-6), published in September 2007. Based on a "New Yorker" story, the book follows several young Christians at Patrick Henry College, a new evangelical institution that teaches its students to "shape the culture and take back the nation." Rosin's portrayals of the students are part of a larger attempt to chronicle the cultural and political history of the modern Christian right.
