Religion and Politics
Religion and Political Identity
Insiders/Outsiders in American Politics
David S. Gutterman, Willamette University, USA and Andrew R. Murphy,
Rutgers University, USA
Series: Routledge Series on Identity Politics
Religion and Political Identity examines the interconnections between religious
identities and American political identities. Gutterman and Murphy place the current
moment into historical perspective, and reflect on the possible future of religion,
politics, and cultural conflict in the United States. They argue that questions of
religion are questions of identity – personal, social, and political identity – and that
they function in many of the same ways as race, sex, gender, and ethnicity in the
construction of personal meaning, the fostering of solidarity with others, and the
conflict they can occasion in the political arena.

TEXTBOOK
Religion in Contemporary America
Charles H. Lippy, University of Tennessee at
Chattanooga, USA and Eric Tranby, University of
Delaware, USA
This book provides a fresh, engaging multi-disciplinary
introduction to religion in contemporary America. The chapters
explore the roots of contemporary American religion from the
1950s up to the present day, looking at the major traditions
including mainline Protestantism, the evangelical-pentecostal
surge, Catholicism, Judaism, African-American religions and
new religious movements. The authors ask whether Americans
are becoming less religious, and how religious thought has
moved from traditional systematic theology to approaches such
as black and feminist theology and environmental theology. The book introduces religion
and social theory, and explores key issues and themes such as: religion and social change;
politics; gender; sexuality; diversity; race and poverty. Students and instructors will find
the combination of historical and sociological perspectives an invaluable aid to
understanding this fascinating but complex field.

TEXTBOOK • 2ND EDITION
Politics and Religion in the United States
J. Matthew Wilson, Southern Methodist University, USA,
Julia Corbett-Hemeyer, Ball State University, USA and Michael Corbett
This book seeks to illuminate for readers the dynamics underlying this seeming
paradox, and to examine how the various religious groups in America have
approached and continue to approach the tensions between sacred and secular. This
much-anticipated revision brings Corbett and Corbett’s classic text fully up to date.
The second edition continues with a thorough discussion of historical origins of
religion in political life, constitutional matters, public opinion, and the most relevant
groups, all while taking theology seriously. Revisions include fully updating all the
public opinion data, fuller incorporation of voting behavior among different religious
and demographic groups, and enhanced discussion of minority religions.
