Is the Good Book Good Enough?: Evangelical Perspectives on Public Policy
ISBN: 9780739177075 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 298 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The political emergence of evangelical Christians has been a signal development in America in the past quarter century. And while their voting tendencies have been closely scrutinized, their participation in the policy debates of the day has not. They continue to be caricatured as anti-intellectual Bible thumpers whose views are devoid of reason, logic, or empirical evidence. They're seen as lemmings, following the cues of Dobson and Robertson and marching in lock step with the Republican party on the "culture wars" issues of abortion, gay rights, and guns. Is The Good Book Good Enough?...

Church and State: Documents Decoded
ISBN: 9781610699488 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 284 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States declares that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." The Establishment Clause, meanwhile, declares a position of neutrality not only between differing religions, but between religious and nonreligious beliefs. The terms of the Free Exercise Clause, however, provide special protections to religious belief and practice. Thus the provisions of the two clauses can clash. In fact, differing political and legal interpretations of these clauses have resulted in...

Representation in Crisis
ISBN: 9780791430583 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 309 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Confronting a fundamentally important but often neglected reality in American politics, this book shows the powerful influence of the courts in determining the shape and operation of our politics. The author exhaustively details how the Supreme Court has impoverished the constitutional standing of political parties in areas of redistricting, campaign finance, ballot access, patronage, and party primaries, opting instead for superficially appealing notions of group-based representation. Ryden demonstrates how the Supreme Court, by checking virtually everything undertaken by the more...

Is the Good Book Good Enough?: Evangelical Perspectives on Public Policy
ISBN: 9780739150597 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 300 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The book analyzes evangelical Christianity as a comprehensive perspective for understanding the range of contemporary policy issues in America. It finds that evangelicalism can be understood as a distinctive approach to understanding policy debates, that evangelicals are not as monolithic as commonly thought, but that their policy activism is still marred by significant shortcomings, namely their failure to employ non-biblical arguments and rhetoric that might resonate with non-evangelical Christians.

West Indian Slavery and British Abolition, 1783-1807
ISBN: 9780521148047 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book challenges conventional wisdom regarding the political and economic motivations behind the final decision to abolish the British slave trade in 1807. Recent historians believe that this first blow against slavery was the result of social changes inside Britain and pay little attention to the important developments that took place inside the West Indian slave economy. David Beck Ryden s research illustrates that a faltering sugar economy after 1799 tipped the scales in favor of the abolitionist argument and helped secure the passage of abolition. Ryden examines the economic arguments...
