Senator John Danforth , an ordained Episcopal priest and former U.S. senator, writes about one of the most conflictridden issues in America: the intersection of government and religion. In Faith and Politics, he takes on many of the polarizing hot-button issues, including stem-cell research, abortion, school prayer, and gay marriage. He expresses dismay at his party for at times straying from traditional Republican principles to pursue an agenda of "wedge" issues. We must, Danforth appeals, move forward together, drawing on our faith to help us live as one nation. Danforth's book is a much-needed clarion call to all Americans.

Media reviews

"A lucid, powerful book that is at once reflective and instructive."
-Jon Meacham, editor of Newsweek

"John Danforth was a Republican senator and is an Episcopal priest, and he is deeply disturbed by his party's engagement with religion. He knows whereof he speaks in this meditation about the contested terrain where politics and religion intersect."
-George F. Will

"Danforth calls for a radical change in how his party operates."
-The Christian Science Monitor
