Book Synopsis
Documenting a range of reactions to two radically different events - the invasion of Iraq and the creation of the faith-based initiatives program, this title charts the terrain of religious and moral argument under the Bush administration from Pat Robertson to Jim Wallis.

Trade Review
"Steven Tipton's rich, revelatory study of conflict and crisis in the United Methodist Church at the heart of mainline Protestantism enables us to grasp the place of churches in the American polis, and judge their political moves and moral advocacy, as no nonpartisan has done to date. With a gift for finding the issues behind the issues, this book brings into full focus the churches' seething struggles. All the way from the cold war through the culture wars to the war in Iraq, it shows how alive these struggles have come to be for the faithful on every side, and how fateful for our society." - Martin E. Marty"
