Baggett Christian Century \"Wuthnow writes in an accessible manner that challenges the reader to consider how Americans make sense of God... Wuthnow provides insightful and challenging research that is useful in understanding the unique paradox of American religious adherence and a commitment to reason as a matter of faith.
