Beskrivning

Americans increasingly think in terms of red and blue. God and Country examines the religious roots of these cultural divisions in American political life. But instead of pitting a people of faith against a secular humanist elite, God and Country helps Americans understand the religious differences that divide, appreciate the public agreements that allow us to live with religious differences, evaluate how existing democratic processes alleviate divisions, and identify ways Americans can agree to disagree.

Recensioner i media

Kennedy deftly unravels the competing ideologies that keep us talking past one another rather than engage in meaningful conversation. -Randall Balmer, Professor of American Religious History
