| Summary: | Alexis de Tocqueville called religion America's “first political institution” and this book shows us why. It will be required reading for religion and politics scholars, whatever their discipline, but will also appeal to anyone concerned with the mechanisms of political influence. Along the way, Djupe and Gilbert contribute substantially to the literature on political participation, elite cue-giving, small group processes, gender politics, and even “deliberative democracy.” And, as they are not afraid to claim, they place religious politics into a broader theoretical framework than is customary. |
