Description: Religion has played a prominent role in American public life for over 400 years, and it remains a powerful force in American politics. This course will examine the relationship between religion and politics from philosophical, historical and strategic perspectives. Students will explore current movements, events and issues in the frameworks of the past, present and future. The course begins by building an historical framework within which to assess the present role of religion in politics. Students also will explore the strategic dimensions of political action, seeking to understand the tactics, rhetoric, and social environments in which religious political actors attempt to influence public policy through voting, lobbying, and grassroots mobilization.
