Publisher Comments

Balmer traces the culture’s journey from the days of Kennedy and his famous speech promising to keep religion out of politics to George W. Bush trolling explicitly for believers’ votes . . . Balmer wisely counsels skepticism that candidates’ religious statements foretell moral governance.

A thoughtful analysis of the nine presidents from Kennedy to George W. Bush. Balmer contends that no clear connection exists between a president’s faith and personal morality and his policies. . . Balmer’s critique of American Christian’s self-delusion and hubris is commendable.
