Produktbeschreibung

I know of no book quite like this one; it examines the changing relationship between presidents and Catholics on three major political-religious issues: war and peace; social justice; life and death. The book is a must-read for all those interested in the relationship between religion and politics in recent American history. Patrick W. Carey, author of American Catholic Religious Thought: The Shaping of a Theological and Social Tradition "Lawrence J. McAndrews has written a superb examination of American Catholicism s influence on the nation s politics. No one has told this story before. A truly original study, based on extensive research, it is a major contribution not only to the history of American Catholicism but also to the nation s political history." Jay P. Dolan, author of In Search of an American Catholicism: A History of Religion and Culture in Tension The University of Georgia Press Athens, Georgia 30602 www.ugapress.org ISBN 978-0-8203-4683-0"
