Faith in the United State's Public Sphere,
By
This review is from: Faith in Politics (Paperback)
This book stands out for several reasons:
1. The age-old question of politics, particularly American politics is where exactly faith and government should interact. Religion is a human function and politics is a human science - the logical conclusion then is that until we can remove humans from politics there will always be an element of the religious. Reichley understands this and offers several theoretical blueprints for how a society might combine the two. Somewhere in the mix you will find how the US typically combines faith and politics... and YES they are definitely complicated by the 1st Amendment, justifiably so. 2. This book is full of helpful and colorful examples taken out of US history up to the present. This technique makes the book very readable and relatable. 3. It should be noted that this text is from an US perspective and does not include ideas, theories, or examples from other governments. 4. Bottom-line - a very well-rounded book, easier to read then most, and as comprehensive and historically accurate as any you'll find. |
