The 1988 elections abruptly brought the importance of religion in
American politics into sharp focus. Two ministers, Pat Robertson
and Jesse Jackson, sought their party's presidential nominations by
mobilizing key religious constituencies. In addition, a host of
other religious groups, from the Catholic bishops to the Jewish
community, sought to influence the election outcome. More than
ever, religion was a critical factor in the ballots cast by
millions of Americans. As the twentieth century draws to a close,
it is clear that religion will continue to be a powerful factor in
electoral politics. This volume investigates the many ways religion
influenced electoral politics in 1988, tracing the links between
elites, activists, and voters in the major religious traditions.
Special attention is paid to the leaders of Protestant, Catholic,
and Jewish organizations; to important sets of activists, such as
ministers, party leaders, and campaign contributors; and to the
behavior of key voting blocs, including white evangelical and
mainline Protestants, black Protestants, Catholics, and Jews.
