About this product

Product Information

This book challenges the idea that the mixing of religion and presidential politics is a new phenomenon. It explores how presidents have drawn on their religious upbringing, rhetoric, ideas, and beliefs to promote their domestic and foreign policies to the nation. This influence is evident in Washington's decision to add "so help me God" to the presidential oath, accusations by Adam's supporters that Jefferson was an infidel, Lincoln's biblical metaphors during the Civil War, and FDR's call to fight against Nazi totalitarianism on behalf of Judeo-Christian civilization. It is also apparent in Truman's support for Israel, Eisenhower's Cold War decision to add "In God We Trust" on American currency, the debate over JFK's Catholicism, Jimmy Carter's born-again Christianity, Reagan's "Evil Empire" speech, Clinton's public repentance, and George W. Bush's "crusade" against Islamic terrorists. This volume explores these issues of religion and power in the presidencies of Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Lincoln, FDR, Truman, Eisenhower, JFK, Carter, Reagan, George H. W. Bush, Clinton, and George W. Bush through scholarly interpretations, primary sources, and illustrations.

Reviews
"Among its strengths is the inclusion of a considerable amount of newsworthy material for the thirteen presidents whose religious views are examined." -- Al Menendez, Voice of Reason, Gaston Espinosa's long introduction lays out the issues and provides a wealth of information. An extremely useful book., This interesting book balances presidential professions of faith with acknowledgment of private sins and the objections of nonbelievers to explicit religious demonstrations in public life., Immediately, one can imagine the value of this book in attempts to teach undergraduates something about religion and politics in American history., "This interesting book balances presidential professions of faith with acknowledgment of private sins and the objections of nonbelievers to explicit religious demonstrations in public life." -- Rich Barlow, Boston Globe, Among its strengths is the inclusion of a considerable amount of newsworthy material for the thirteen presidents whose religious views are examined., "Gaston Espinosa's long introduction lays out the issues and provides a wealth of information.
