God Strategy: How Religion Became a Political Weapon in America

Domke David Coe

4.9/5 (16774 ratings)

Description:In The God Strategy, David Domke and Kevin Coe offer a timely and dynamic study of the rise of religion in American politics, examining the public messages of political leaders over the past seventy-five years--from the 1932 election of Franklin Roosevelt to the early stages of the 2008 presidential race. They conclude that U.S. politics today is defined by a calculated, deliberate, and partisan use of faith that is unprecedented in modern politics. Sectarian influences and expressions of faith have always been part of American politics, the authors observe, but a profound change occurred beginning with the election of Ronald Reagan in 1980. What has developed since is a no-holds-barred religious politics that seeks to attract voters, identifyand attack enemies, and solidify power. For U.S. politicians today, having faith isn't enough; it must be displayed, carefully and publicly. This is a stark transformation in recent decades, write Domke and Coe. With innovative, accessible research and analytical verve, they document how this has occurred, who has done it and why, andwhat it means for the American experiment in democracy.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
