Description: "This work is the first of a two-volume set that will explore the promise and challenge of public religion. These works are intended not as the last word on the subject; rather, the author hopes to initiate a national conversation - providing a guided tour of public religion in America, exploring the role religion has played, is playing, and could play in our life together as a nation."--BOOK JACKET.
