Rediscovering America's Sacred Ground

“I would rank this book as one of the best to come out in recent years in addressing the religious/secular dimensions of the American socio-political order.——德里克·H. Davis, Journal of Church and State

"This nation badly needs the balanced, responsible analysis of the proper role of religion in our society that is offered in this book. Acceptance of 'America's Sacred Ground' by all parties can provide the basis for civil discourse and moving ahead into new grounds.——约翰·B. 小科布., Founding Co-Director of the Center for Process Studies and Professor Emeritus, Claremont School of Theology and Claremont 研究生 School

Taking Religious Pluralism Seriously

Expanding on 芭芭拉一个. McGraw’s framework for understanding religious participation in public life, this co-edited volume (with Jo Renee Formicola) demonstrates that religious pluralism is actually one of democracy’s basic building blocks. The chapters explore how diverse religious communities and traditions, including “newer” and marginalized religions, can make a meaningful contribution to American society and politics.

Crediting 芭芭拉一个. McGraw with previously coining the term “America’s Sacred Ground” for the values and framework underlying the U.S. Constitution, Jon Meacham wrote of Taking Religious Pluralism Seriously:

“An important new book . . . lays out the history of tolerance in the United States while urgently reminding us what is at stake when we speak, as we so often do, of ‘church and state’ or ‘moral values’ or ‘the culture wars.’” [This book has] valuable insights and welcome spirit of moderation.” -- Jon Meacham, New York Times Book Review cover page article entitled “Tidings of Pride, 祈祷, and Pluralism.”
