Reviews for Conceived in Doubt
"With sound scholarship and deep research, Amanda Porterfield offers a fresh interpretation of the symbiotic relationship between evangelical popular religion and libertarian politics in the early republic. I am confident that Conceived in Doubt will take its place as a seminal work in the study of American religion and politics." -Franklin Lambert, Purdue University"
