Recenzii

[T]hree helpful appendixes. . . . Deserves inclusion in all collections.
[T]hese titles tie it together in balanced, current, convenient volumes that will prove useful to many high-school, public, and academic libraries.
A very thorough appendix. . . . Anyone investigating the nexus between these two powerful forces in American history and society will do well to turn this encyclopedia for a wealth of useful information on this topic.
[C]omprehensive and thoughtful . . . nicely packaged. . . . A valuable resource is included near the end of the encyclopedia with a listing of major national religious organzations representing a variety of beliefs, complete with addresses and phone numbers and descriptions of the groups' purposes.
The editors of this monumental book bit off a great deal of material and have treated it exceedingly well. Virtually every man, woman, movement, cause, event and debate in American politics since the founding of the republic is described with scholarly care and precision. . . . [A] worthwhile book that must find a place in every theological library and as indispensable reference work for the political scientist.
[T]he work as a whole is excellent and should considered for purchase for the reference collections of most academic and public libraries. The work provides useful contextual information for many issues that are still being hotly debated today as they were in the early years of the United States.
