Cromartie Edits New Book on Religion and Politics in America

TTF Staff

Senior Fellow Michael Cromartie has edited a new book of essays on religion and politics in the U.S., with particular focus on the role of journalists.

The book is titled, appropriately enough, Religion and Politics in America: A Conversation.

The current national discourse has brought faith and its relationship to public policy to the forefront of our daily news. Since 1999, the Ethics and Public Center, through the generosity of the Pew Charitable Trusts, has hosted six conferences for national journalists to help raise the level of their reporting by increasing their understanding of religion, religious communities, and the religious convictions that inform the political activity of devout believers. This book contains the presentations and conversations that grew out of those conferences.

Cromartie’s introduction is available here. We hope this contributes to better understanding of this critical issue.
