Synopsis

The future of America, in many ways, depends upon an understanding of the proper role of religion in our shared life as a republic. Discussions and debates on the topic have too often generated noise, platitudes, stereotypes, name--calling, and the distortion of vitally important issues, instead of constructive conversation among citizens----until now.Of all the voices commenting about American religion today, none is more credible or better known than that of historian Martin E. Marty. A respected scholar, author, editor, and media commentator, he has--perhaps better than anyone else in the field--a deep grasp on the complex issues surrounding public religion.
