| Summary: | Robert Benne was motivated to write this slim volume on religion and politics by his frustration, even outrage, elicited by other treatments of these perennial subjects. Such an indictment might lead to a lengthy tome detailing what other approaches lack and proposing an alternative that would pass the high bar that others had failed. Such a book might be helpful for academicians and theorists but would likely not find its way into the hands of interested laypeople and busy clergy. The great virtue of Benne's book is that it lays out a thoughtful framework for thinking about religion and politics that is, if not comprehensive, accessible enough for nonspecialists while substantive enough to be worth their time. |
