Souled Out: Reclaiming Faith and Politics after the Religious RightPrinceton University Press, 2009 M10 12 - 264 pages The religious and political winds are changing. Tens of millions of religious Americans are reclaiming faith from those who would abuse it for narrow, partisan, and ideological purposes.

In Souled Out, award-winning journalist and commentator E. J. Dionne explains why the era of the Religious Right--and the crude exploitation of faith for political advantage--is over. |
