Religion and the New Republic

Rating:
Summary: Religion vs. American Politics
Review: Religion and the New Republic is an insightful book that explains how religion influenced the political growth of our young country, as well as the power religion had over our politicians and founding fathers. However, although the book is an excellent portrayal of the complex religious philsophies and issues of the birth of our country, it also has its slow points that often drag on, and lose the readers attention. This book is more intended for research purposes than for pleasure reading. Its not exactly a book I would cozy up to the fireplace with, but I did get a lot of new information out of it.
