Language: English Table of ContentsReviewsFinalist for the 2013 Christianity Today Awards in Christianity and Culture With the publication of Red State Religion, we profit greatly from a majestically comprehensive account of Kansas' history. In turn, we get a truer story, one that inspires a less ideological reading of the state, perhaps freeing Kansans themselves from any notion of how they must think--or vote. --Alexander Heffner, Philadelphia Inquirer Robert Wuthnow, a brilliant sociologist of religion and himself a native of Kansas, gives us a careful sociological history of the intertwining of religion and politics in this quintessential red state... In Wuthnow's nuanced and careful study, Kansans come across less as hayseeds or off-the-wall moralizers than as pragmatic conservatives, committed to traditional families and fiscal conservatism. They are skeptical of big government and dedicated to preserving simple and vital virtues. Wuthnow has penned a 'must read' book for those who would understand--and not just caricature--red state religion and how it intertwines with politics. --John A. Coleman, America [Wuthnow] takes Kansas state conservatism seriously in grounding his conclusions in archival research rather than journalistic sensationalism. --Choice [Red State Religion] thoughtfully and compassionately explores the rich and complex political and religious history of the place. --Rebecca Barrett-Fox, Christian Century Red State Religion is a model of clarity and is surely one of the best books available on the intersection of religion and politics. --Al Menendez, Voice of Reason Elegantly written, passionately argued, and deeply researched, Red State Religion challenges our basic assumptions about the influence of the Religious Right in particular, and the role of religion in American politics more generally. --Andrew Preston, Journal of Ecclesiastical History Wuthnow does an excellent job tracing the development of religious institutions in the state. --James E. Sherow, Great Plains Research Author InformationRobert Wuthnow, a native of Kansas, teaches sociology and directs the Center for the Study of Religion at Princeton University.
