This study examines the role of religion in American politics.
It begins with the assumption that there exist multiple democratic
theories, and that religion has a different role to play in each.
It compares consensus theories of American political culture, and
dualistic theories of political mobilization, and accounts, which
emphasize the diversity of the American citizenry. The question of
how religious leaders view their political roles is of the work's
focus. The major part of the study consists of interviews with
nearly thirty Protestant ministers and Roman Catholic clergy
concerning their conceptions of the relationship between the sacred
and the political. These conceptions are then related to the
various theories of democratic political culture, with the
conclusion that each of three traditions (Roman Catholicism,
mainline Protestantism, and Evangelical Protestantism) embodies to
some extent one of the models of democratic politics.
This work will be of interest to scholars and students of
American politics, government, and religion.
