More DescriptionIn this revised and thoroughly updated second edition, Fowler, Hertzke and Olson provide a lively and straightforward treatment of the relationship of politics and religion in American public life today. The authors provide historical and sociological contexts as well as the range of strategic choices open to different religious participants, enabling the reader to reach informed and balanced judgments about the role of religion in politics. Well written, evenhanded, and consistently generous in its treatment of opposing views, this is the ideal text to introduce students to the volatile mix of politics and religion in the late twentieth century and beyond.
