Description and Table of Contents
Description
Offering a study of the contemporary politics of religion in the United States, this book presents an historical context and the broader sociological aspects of religion and politics. It incorporates both behavioural and philosophical approaches to the study of religion in society, dismissing neither conservative cultural values nor liberal demands for social justice. The topics discussed range from the presidency to the courts, from local school battles to congressional debates, and from public opinion to the shaping of the culture. The book considers the politics of Roman Catholics, evangelical Christians, liberal Protestants, and Jews, and addresses aspects such as women and religion, the black churches, Muslims, unconventional faiths, and cults.
