"Was George W. Bush doing something un-American in 1999 when, asked by a reporter what philosopher had influenced him most, he named Jesus? Was Bill Clinton doing something irreligious when, just about a year earlier, he stood before the National Prayer Breakfast and a television audience and sought forgiveness? What about the activist preachers who fight to remake the nation in the image they think God prefers and who, every time an election rolls around, recommend to their congregations how they ought to cast their ballots?" "In God's Name in Vain, Yale Law Professor Stephen L. Carter offers provocative and practical answers. Offering his usual mix of insights from history, theology, politics, philosophy and law, Carter contends that a nation that truly values religious freedom must welcome the religious voice into its political counsels. In God's Name in Vain, written with his usual energy, clarity and wit, Carter offers advice on how politically active religious activists can keep their balance on the tightrope, remaining true to their faith while working for genuine change in their nation."--Jacket.… (més)

Superb book. But would you expect anything less than that from the author of Invisible, Integrity, and Civility?

Carter's book is much more legal than the former 3, yet he explains much of the legal jargon clearly and succinctly as only he can. Again, he is refreshingly open about his bias, but still willing to explore other sides and he does so, quite well I think.

Written in 1999, his warnings regarding the mixture of religion and political power were sorely needed last October and would have been quite useful prior to a certain photo op. At the same time, he offers many thoughts on when it is appropriate to mix the two, as well as some interesting byproducts of religious discrimination and avoidance.

Anyway, it's late at night and I'm beginning to ramble. But I appreciate the constant quality of thought and research that Carter provides. Here's hoping I can get my hands on more of his non- fiction. Unfortunately, because of his legal background, a lot of his stuff is ensconced in legal libraries. ( )
