| Summary: | William Issel integrates religious, political, and economic history into a largely persuasive interpretation of San Francisco's history that places religion at the center of public life from the twentieth century's earliest years to its final decades. The debates, votes, and policies did not focus on theology, religion in the schools, or public support of religious activity, however. Instead they saw religious beliefs shaping discussion of the “common good,” of how society ought to construct a just polity., Issel argues that Catholics contributed significantly to a unified vision of the “common good” that reached its apex in the twentieth century's middle decades. |
