E-Book Overview
Taking Religious Pluralism Seriously: Spiritual Politics On America's Sacred Ground ably edited by Barbara A McGraw and Jo Renee Formicola is an informed and informative compilation study of the religious right and the secular left determining the role of religion in American public life. Although America claims one of its most basic fundamental rules is the restriction of religious influence, this much is disproven with the situational analysis given in Taking Religious Pluralism Seriously. Very highly recommended for its enlightening and thought-provoking information, Taking Religious Pluralism Seriously is an excellent read for students of Political Science, Theology, and all non-specialist general readers with an interest in Church/State separation issues.
