Description
Never before in American history have so many presidential candidates been identified with a strong, personal faith. There are no "religious" candidates because all are religious in one way or another. The question is: What difference does this make once the person is in office?
While we can't predict the future, we can look to the past to give us a clue. Written by leading American historians, Faith and the American Presidency shows how the personal beliefs of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, Woodrow Wilson, and Ronald Reagan -- among others -- shaped their public policies.
What readers will see is that religious faith does indeed shape the presidency in ways that are both subtle and unexpected.
