"These essays, written by experts of all faiths, offer informative insights and even inspiration."-- America, "The authors span the political and religious spectrum... This well-documented collection demonstrates that a secular state can thrive even when its citizenry is deeply committed religiously, albeit to diverse ways of being religious. This book will be valuable to those interested in the role of religion in public life, in both historical and contemporary terms."-- Choice, "The contributors here are the right people to push a diverse debate." -- Research News and Opportunities in Science and Theology, "This impressive study... is grounded on the premise that religion is inevitably public in a political sense... must be only the beginning of the never-ending quest to discover the answer to a burning question, which is likely to be the foremost issue facing the American nation in the years to come." -- Robert F. Drinan, America, "A very fine collection of essays by scholars on differing aspects of religion's public presence... If you want to read one volume on the role of religion in public life, this is the current front-runner."-- Virginia Quarterly Review, A very fine collection of essays by scholars on differing aspects of religion's public presence...

Synopsis
''The contributors comprise a truly dazzling array of talent. They are precisely the ones one would want to read for insight into the difficult but crucial questions regarding the relationship between religion and public policy.''-Marc Landy, Professor of Political Science at Boston College Despite talk of a ''naked public square,'' religion has never really lost its place in American public life. As the twenty-first century opened, it was re-emerging in unexpected and paradoxical ways. Religious institutions were considered for expanded roles in welfare and education, at the same time that the limits of religious pluralism -as, for example, in the relation of Islam to American values--became a question of urgent public concern. Religion Returns to the Public Square;Faith and Policy in America explores how and why religion has to be mixed up with American politics. Uncovering philosophical, historical, legal, and social roots of this relationship, these essays go beyond hot-button issues to reflect on the current interactions and future possibilities of religion and politics in America.
