Reviews for The Next Religious Establishment. National Identity and Political Theology in Post-Protestant America.
A keen observer of history. . . . This book is a rebuttal to those writers and politicians who see the U.S.'s demise in multiculturalism, revisionist history, and a lack of respect for the canon in American universities. Highly recommended for upper-division undergraduates and above.
