"McGraw provides a valuable survey of topics and themes in American religion and politics. Edited collections tempt incoherence, but McGraw provides an editor's introduction to each part that helps make important themes evident and related. Politics is defined broadly in this volume."—Glenn A. Moots, Religious Studies Review, Vol 43, No 2, June 2017
