Evans bring together a stellar collection of essays that paints a contemporary portrait of American Protestantism-a denomination that has remained quietly, but firmly, influential in the public sphere. Mainline Protestants may have steered clear of the controversial, attention-grabbing tactics of the Religious Right, but they remain culturally influential and continue to impact American society through political action and the provision of social services. The contributors to this volume address religion's larger role in society and cover such topics as welfare, ecology, family, civil rights, and homosexuality. Pioneering, timely, and meticulously researched, The Quiet Hand of God will be an essential reference to the dynamics of American religion well into the twenty-first century. 606 $aChurch and state$zUnited States 606 $aProtestantism$zUnited States 606 $aReligion and politics$zUnited States 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aChurch and state 615 0$aProtestantism 615 0$aReligion and politics 676 $a261.8/0973 701 $aWuthnow$b Robert$0882687 701 $aEvans$b John Hyde$f1965-$01025790 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910449704703321 996 $aThe quiet hand of God$92467378 997 $aUNINA
