Summary: A seminal contribution to political science shelves
Review: Based on data accumulated during the 2000 presidential election, Pulpit and Politics: Clergy in American Politics at the Advent of the Millennium is a selection of essays by learned authors concerning the interconnection of theology, politics, and social activism among clergy from a wide variety of religious groups, including Roman Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, Baptist, and more. From distinctions in politics between mainline and evangelical clergy, to patterns that can be seen to surface at the intersection of faith and electoral convictions, Pulpit and Politics is a seminal contribution to political science shelves. Especially recommended for academic libraries, Pulpit and Politics is also highly accessible and immersive for lay readers.
