Opis

Politics and Religious Consciousness in America remains the first coherent history of American religious thought and practice within the context of politics. Kelly sets forth a chronology and topology of the patterns of collaboration, competition, and interaction of politics and religion in America. His exploration of the tensions of politics and religion in the United States, from its earliest settlement to contemporary times, is as relevant now as when it was first published. Elshtains introduction underscores the continuing importance of this seminal work. Transactions decision to publish this paperback edition was inspired by Elshtain.
