Trade Review
Winner of the 2016 Best Book Award, European Politics and Society Section of the American Political Science Association "[An] excellent volume."--Choice "A landmark contribution... It blends statistical analysis, qualitative paired comparisons, and formal theory into an argument that is both theoretically nuanced and empirically rich... Nations under God should be kept on a shelf within arm's reach as scholars grapple with these questions."--David T. Buckley, Journal of Church and State "An original and insightful argument that is essential to understanding the role of religious institutions in politics."--Jonathan Fox, Perspectives on Politics
