The Quiet Hand of God: Faith-based Activism and the Public Role of Mainline ProtestantismRobert Wuthnow, John Hyde Evans University of California Press, 2002 - 429 páginas Robert Wuthnow and John H. Evans bring together a stellar collection of essays that paints a contemporary portrait of American Protestantism--a denomination that has remained quietly, but firmly, influential in the public sphere. Mainline Protestants may have steered clear of the controversial, attention-grabbing tactics of the Religious Right, but they remain culturally influential and continue to impact American society through political action and the provision of social services. |
