Abstract "The US Congress has long reflected the intersection of faith and politics, with religious convictions often informing legislative agendas. The authors of Religion and Congress examine that complex relationship, focusing on its historical foundations, contemporary congressional behavior, and policy outcomes. Drawing on both in-depth research and firsthand experience, they explore how religious beliefs and institutions have shaped, and continue to shape, US legislative politics."-- Publisher, "About the book", page 295.
