This book chronologically analyzes thirteen key US Presidents, from
Washington to Trump, to highlight how religion has informed or
influence their politics and policies. For years, leading scholars
have largely neglected religion in presidential studies. Yet, religion
has played a significant role in a number of critical presidencies in
US history. This volume reveals the deep religious side to such
presidents as Truman, Eisenhower, and Reagan, among others, and the
impact that faith had on their administrations. Now in its third
edition, this work also provides a fresh look at the legacy of
Obama’s faith-based administration, as well as a new chapter on the
2016 Trump campaign’s dependence on religious voters to provide a
timely update to a key text in the study of religion and the
presidency.
