More than two hundred years have passed since the Constitution
was written, yet Americans still cannot make up their minds whether
religion is primarily private, public, or a combination of the two.
This collection of essays explores the unsettled --and often
unsettling --question of organized religion's role in contemporary
public life. Richard N. Ostling reviews religious belief and
practice in the United States in a survey of the ever-changing
religious landscape, while Robert J. Blendon and others compare the
political, moral, and religious values of the 1960s with those of
the 1990s. Patrick Glynn and Alan Wolfe examine different religious
responses to the recent presidential scandal, and James Q. Wilson,
John J. DiIulio Jr., and Ram Cnaan examine the rise of faith-based
social programs, including the shift of private funds to social
service providers, the role of black churches in the inner city,
and social and community work by urban religious congregations.
Additional contributors include Taylor Branch, Kurt Schmoke, Cal
Thomas, and Peter Wehner.
