In this first volume of a two-volume set on the public expression of faith, the preeminent authority on religion in American shatters myths and stereotypes to advance the important public discussion about the public religion in political life.
In this insightful book, Marty covers a wealth of vital issues about the state of the politics and religion, including: the case often made against public religion; how public religion affects the common good; the ways in which the individual citizen is formed by faith; the declining political power of traditional institutions; the flourishing of religious special interest groups; and how to move questions of public religion from argument to conversation.
