Mark J. Rozell is professor and chair of the department of politics at The Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C. Clyde Wilcox is professor of government at Georgetown University. Both have written several books on religion and politics.
This book is well-written and compelling...
*APSA Legislative Studies Section Newsletter, Book Notes*
Rozell and Wilcox have provided a excellent set of case studies
that demonstrate both the power and the limitations of religious
conservatism in American politics. The main strength of the book is
its detailed insider's view of state politics.
*Perspective On Political Science, Winter 99, Vol. 28, No.1*
All readers will find much originality and value in the systematic
analysis of the often-contrasting views of Reed and Robertson. The
major strength of the book is the finely detailed analysis of these
two goals on the two chapters analyzing the coalition's 'dreams'
off restoration and recognition.
*Stuart A. Lilie*
God at the Grassroots is both helpful and timely. This book is
valuable as a collection of well-researched vignettes, and also
well-written and insightful.
*Journal for the Scientific Study of Religion*
Rozell and Wilcox have again assembled a diverse and talented cast
who produce a volume that makes a contribution to our understanding
of the connections between social movements and electoral politics.
. . . An invaluable resource for information about state politics
and the Christian Right. The volume should not merely remain a
resource, however, but should make it into your classrooms.
*Paul A. Djupe, Gustavus Adolphus College*
All readers will find much originality and value in the systematic
analysis of the often-contrasting views of Reed and Robertson.
*American Political Science Review*
God at the Grass Roots, 1996 makes a valuable contribution to the
study of the Christian Right in American national and state
politics. The book provides a timely follow-up to the editors'
previous examination of the 1994 elections... The book makes an
important contribution to the political science literature on the
American Right...
*New Political Science, Volume 20, Number 2, 1998*
Rozell and Wilcox have again assembled a diverse and talented cast
who produce a volume that makes a contribution to our understanding
of the connections between social movements and electoral politics.
It is a necessary addition for those interested in the Christian
Right. The chapters are well written and examine and explain data
in a way comprehensible by undergraduates. The work captures points
that would enrich a variety of courses.
*H-Net: Humanities and Social Science Reviews Online*
God and the Grass Roots represents a thoughtful and insightful
approach to the interplay of religion and politics in American
life. Hopefully it will stimulate further study...
