Abstract
The chapters in this volume fill an important gap in the study of religious politics in the United States. Although topics such as the constitutional issues involved in churchstate relations and the effects of religious variables on political behavior have been examined extensively, there has been relatively less attention paid to the role of religion in American political institutions. As has been seen in the preceding chapters, the effects of religion on institutional politics in the United States can be quite direct, or such effects can be much subtler (but no less important). This book is a promising addition to this literature that will motivate future research on religion and political institutions.
