Scholarship on the role of religion in American public life has
taken on a new urgency in the increasingly contentious wake of the
attacks of September 11, 2001. This volume brings together an
impressive group of scholars to build on past work and broaden the
scope of this crucial inquiry in two respects: by exploring aspects
of the religion-politics nexus in the United States that have been
neglected in the past, and by examining traditional questions
concerning the religious tincture of American political discourse
in provocative new ways. Essays include examinations of religious
rhetoric in American political and cultural discourse after
September 11th, the impact of religious ideas on environmental
ethics, religion and American law beyond the First Amendment,
religious responses to questions of gay and lesbian rights, the
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and issues of free
speech and public space in Utah, and the role of religious
institutions and ideas on the political priorities of
African-American and Latino communities. In addition, Religion,
Politics, and American Identity includes introductory and
concluding essays by leading scholars in the field of religion and
politics that assess present and future directions for study.
