Does religion influence political participation? This book takes up
this pressing debate using Christianity in sub-Saharan Africa as
its empirical base to demonstrate that religious teachings
communicated in sermons can influence both the degree and the form
of citizens' political participation. McClendon and Riedl document
some of the current diversity of sermon content in contemporary
Christian houses of worship and then use a combination of
laboratory experiments, observational survey data, focus groups,
and case comparisons in Zambia, Uganda, and Kenya to interrogate
the impact of sermon exposure on political participation and the
longevity of that impact. Pews to Politics in Africa leverages the
pluralism of sermons in sub-Saharan Africa to gain insight into the
content of cultural influences and their consequences for how
ordinary citizens participate in politics.
