American political theology: Historical perspective and theoretical analysis

by Charles W. Dunn (Contributor)

"In American Political Theology, Charles W. Dunn . . . has admirably fulfilled his modest and useful intention to provide in textbook fashion a dispassionate exposition `of how, why, and when' politics and religion intersect.' This is no small feat in treating a subject so vast, undefined, and fraught with intense conflict, and the work can be of considerable usefulness to teachers at any level who need a clear historical and theoretical analysis of the intersection as it has presented itself in the experience of our country. . . . The essays are, for the most part, intellectually and ethically muscular and will well repay reading by anyone who is already fairly well-grounded in the Founding." Chronicles
