Despite constitutional limitations, the points of contact between
religion and politics have deeply affected all aspects of American
political development since the founding of the United States.
Within partisan politics, federal institutions, and movement
activism, religion and politics have rarely been truly separate;
rather, they are two forms of cultural expression that are
continually coevolving and reconfiguring in the face of social
change. Faithful Republic explores the dynamics between religion
and politics in the United States from the early twentieth century
to the present. Rather than focusing on the traditional question of
the separation between church and state, this volume touches on
many other aspects of American political history, addressing
divorce, civil rights, liberalism and conservatism, domestic
policy, and economics. Together, the essays blend church history
and lived religion to fashion an innovative kind of political
history, demonstrating the pervasiveness of religion throughout
American political life. Contributors: Lila Corwin Berman, Edward
J. Blum, Darren Dochuk, Lily Geismer, Alison Collis Greene, Matthew
S. Hedstrom, David Mislin, Bethany Moreton, Andrew Preston, Bruce
J. Schulman, Molly Worthen, Julian E. Zelizer.
