We had a great deal of help in producing this book. Lyman Kellstedt
of the American Political Science Association's Special Section on
Religion and Politics allowed us to try out our ideas on a panel at
the association's 1990 meeting in San Francisco. Paul Weber and
John Francis Burke offered helpful suggestions at that session .
Amy Eisenberg and Deborah Rich at Westview Press were helpful and
supportive throughout. A. David Lynch of the City College of New
York and Murray Karstadt of Rutgers University turned eleven
chapters 011 five different word processing programs into a single
manuscript. Needless to say, we could not have done it without
them. Vicky Donner, supported by the City College Scholars Program,
also assisted in readying the manuscript for publication . Dolores
M. Byrnes prepared the index. Mary Segers acknowledges Dean Donald
G. Stein and the Graduate School at Rutgers in Newark for the
partial support provided by a 1 990-91 graduate research award .
Lastly, we both offer our gratitude to the contributors to this
volume. All of the chapters of this book, with a single exception,
were written explicitly for inclusion in this book; none have been
published previously. We could not have asked for more enthusiastic
responses to our requests to contribute nor greater responsiveness
to the time constraints we set. The goodwill of the contributors
allowed this book to be the collaborative effort we originally
hoped it would be. That said, the views expressed by each
individual author are those of that author alone.
Piety, Politics, and Pluralism skillfully confronts the question:
Is liberal democracy hostile to religion or is it compatible with
the rights of believers? Prominent scholars analyze the controversy
about religious freedom by examining two areas at the intersection
of religion and politics in contemporary American society: the
Supreme Court's 1990 decision in Oregon v. Smith and the events of
the 2000 presidential campaign. Their essays remind us that in an
increasingly pluralistic society, Americans must work continually
to reconcile religious commitment and political obligation. Piety,
Politics, and Pluralism is a groundbreaking work that will be
indispensable to students of religion and politics, American
politics, and constitutional law.

The essays presented here draw from the Soviet Interview Project's
evidence of the internal condition of the CPSU party during the
"era of stagnation" and its role, influence, and impact on the
operation of legal and economic institutions and state
bureaucracies.
