In this companion volume to Deity and Domination, David Nicholls broadens his examination of the relationship between religion and politics.

Much language about God, for example, has a... In this companion volume to Deity and Domination, David Nicholls broadens his examination of the relationship between religion and politics. ...

Rediscovering the Religious Factor in American Politics
ISBN: 9781563241345 / Angielski / Miękka / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This text addresses whether and how religion and religious institutions affect American politics. For some time, analysts have argued that the conflicts of the New Deal era rendered cultural differences trivial and placed economic interests at the top of the political agenda. The authors and their collaborators - John C. Green, James L. Guth, Ted G. Jelen, Corwin E. Smidt, Kenneth D. Wald, Michael R. Welch, and Clyde Wilcox - disagree. They find that religious worldviews are still insinuated in American political institutions, and religious institutions still are points of reference.
