Reconsidering Christianity and American Democracy / Heclo, Hugh -- Notes -- Acknowledgments -- About the Authors -- IndexChristianity, not religion in general, has been important for American democracy. With this bold thesis, Heclo offers a panoramic view of how Christianity and democracy have shaped each other over the years, and how their relationship is changing in the present day. Responding to his challenging argument, Mary Jo Bane, Michael Kazin, and Alan Wolfe criticize, qualify, and amend it. The result is a lively debate about a momentous tension in American public life.Alexis de Tocqueville lectures on American politics.DemocracyReligious aspectsChristianityChristianity and politicsUnited StatesDemocracyReligious aspectsChristianity.Christianity and politics261.70973Heclo Hugh249681Bane Mary Jo141118Kazin Michael1948-476731Wolfe Alan1942-235000MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910778449603321Christianity and American democracy3746456UNINA
