America cannot survive without a common faith. History has taught us that our national identity and our political order require voluntary religious and civic organizations. Following the social; political; and cultural upheavals of the 1960s; Americans are now engaged in a struggle to determine the future of our nation's character and destiny. So argues prominent political theorist Eldon J. Eisenach in this brilliant and controversial new book. Contentious debates over multiculturalism; church-state relations; and immigration illustrate America's current identity crisis. Creating a common vision for America is no easy task but Eisenach describes how the moral and spiritual foundations of a new; coherent; American identity and faith are already emerging. As in the past; the next religious establishment's primary expression will be a political and cultural order that mediates and integrates personal; ethnic; religious; and civic identities. The Next Religious Establishment alerts readers to the changing landscape of America's identity and invites us to participate in its redefinition. This book will profoundly alter the way political theorists; intellectual historians; and theologians conceptualize America's past; present; and future.

A Wonderful Book about a historical process that few Americans know.By randy wardThe history that very few know. This book is so well researched that no one can argue with the history of the book. Do you know that after the Muslims took over the ME and most of Europe; that Christianity was almost totally eradicated? This book records the process and gives great details of the event of the barbarians (Muslims) that came out of Saudi Arabia and destroyed an enlightened Judeo Christian civilization that surrounded the Mediterranean.This book will enlighten you as to how the Crusades were a weak response to hundreds of years of rape; murder; and destruction by Arab Muslims.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. I have looked long and hard to find historical information ...By kmanI have looked long and hard to find historical information on Islam that hasn't been bent; twisted; and corrupted so as not to offend Muslims. The truth is what I want not a wishful fairy tail and Bat Ye'or delivers big time - objective facts and data period.
