Disciples and Democracy
Religious Conservatives and the Future of American Politics
Edited by Michael Cromartie, Irving Kristol
Posted: Sunday, January 1, 1995
The religious right, currently the subject of intense press attention, is here scrutinized by both insiders and outside observers. Journalists Fred Barnes ( The New Republic), Michael Barone ( U.S. News & World Report), and E. J. Dionne ( The Washington Post), activists Ralph Reed (Christian Coalition) and Michael Farris, and scholarly analysts John Green, Allen Hertzke, Michael Horowitz, Richard Land, and George Weigel examine the agenda of religious conservatives, their influence upon the 1992 election, and whether and how they can increase their political influence in the next four years. In a foreword, Irving Kristol calls religious conservatives "the very core of an emerging American conservatism." The volume, published jointly by the Ethics and Public Policy Center and Eerdmans, includes brief comments by eighteen other informed observers as well.

The Latest Books from EPPC Scholars
 EPPC Distinguished Senior Fellow George Weigel's new book is essential reading in a time of momentous political decisions. Drawing on a quarter century of experience at the intersection of moral argument and public policy, he describes rigorously and clearly the threat posed by global jihadism and points a new direction for both public policy and interreligious dialogue, one that meets the challenge of jihadism forthrightly while creating the conditions for a less threatening, more mutually enriching encounter between Islam and the West.

EPPC Resident Scholar James Bowman recounts the history of honor, noting that it is inseparable from the history of mankind. While honor has been disregarded or actively despised for three quarters of a century in the West, it is still essential to an understanding of the Islamic cultures of the Middle East and the sense of grievance they often foster against the West, and especially the United States.

 Obama's Favorite Theologian? A Short Course on Reinhold Niebuhr -- Wilfred McClay, a historian specializing in American intellectual history, offered an overview of Niebuhr's unique form of progressive Christianity and addressed ongoing debates about the influence of Niebuhr's work on 20th-century American politics and international affairs. Religion and Science: Conflict or Harmony? -- Francis S. Collins, the former director of the Human Genome Project, discussed why he believes religion and science are compatible and why the current conflict over evolution vs. faith, particularly in the evangelical community, is unnecessary. The Political Obligations of Catholics -- the Most Rev. Charles J. Chaput, archbishop of Denver and author of Render Unto Caesar: Serving the Nation by Living Our Catholic Beliefs in Political Life (2008), argues that Catholics should take an active, vocal and morally consistent role in public debates, particularly on issues such as abortion, the death penalty and other matters they consider central to social justice.
