Description: "In this book, Gary Scott Smith takes a look at the role religion has played in presidential politics and policies. Drawing on extensive archival research, Smith paints compelling portraits of the religious lives and presidencies of eleven chief executives for whom religion was particularly important. Faith and the Presidency examines what each of its subjects believed and how those beliefs shaped their presidencies and, in turn, the course of our history."--Jacket.
