Description
Book SynopsisAmericans have long acknowledged a deep connection between evangelical religion and democracy in the early days of the republic. This title challenges this standard interpretation and describes the intertwined relationship between religion and partisan politics that emerged in the formative era of the early republic.
Trade Review"With sound scholarship and deep research, Amanda Porterfield offers a fresh interpretation of the symbiotic relationship between evangelical popular religion and libertarian politics in the early republic. I am confident that Conceived in Doubt will take its place as a seminal work in the study of American religion and politics." -Franklin Lambert, Purdue University"
