Language: English Table of ContentsReviewsWith 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 With the publication of Red State Religion, we profit greatly from a majestically comprehensive account of Kansas' history.
