The Masterless: Self & Society in Modern America2 reviews
Wilfred M. McClay
University of North Carolina Press, 1994

Religion Returns to the Public Square: Faith and Policy in America (Woodrow Wilson Center Press)
The Johns Hopkins University Press, 2003
Despite talk of a "naked public square," religion has never really lost its place in American public life. As the twenty-first century opened, it was re-emerging in unexpected and paradoxical ways. Religious institutions were considered for expanded roles in welfare and education, at the same time that the limits of religious pluralism---as, for example, in the relation of Islam to American values--became a question of urgent public concern. ...
