| Summary: | This book is a dense, challenging read, requiring strenuous concentration. Reading the book was a serious, laborious chore. Typical sentences include the following: “While clergy efficacy has no direct effects, the potency of the interactive effects of the clergy efficacy measure should not go underappreciated” (69). “Although opinion extremity is not a perfect substitute for intensity, the folded opinion of the respondent's political discussant exerts a positive effect on the respondent's sense of importance of all issues” (100). “Activity isolation, a proxy for the low civic engagement of the church, allows greater opinion dispersion for those in the majority and the minority, but more cohesion in mixed churches, which amounts to more moderate positions” (143). |
