Churches as Molders of American Politics

Abstract

Few who argue the relations of church and state know much about the basic interrelations of the two. This article, by an Assistant Professor at the Institute of Government and Public Affairs, the University of Illinois, is not the ABS's first in religious sociology. It has exceptional merits, however, in highlighting the background meanings of religion in American life at a time when the nation is blundering through an unenlightened debate on aid to “parochial” education.
