In rough country: bringing order to the new frontier
For the advance of civilization: institution building and moral character
With liberty of conscience: defining the separation of church and state
The fundamentalist belt: coming to terms with science
From Judge Lynch to Jim Crow: celebrating limited inclusion
A load too heavy: religion and the debate over government relief
Moving onto the national stage: everything is big
Meanest, dirtiest, low-down stuff: the politics of tumult
Power to the people: framing the issues, taking sides
God can save us: the campaign for a moral America
In a compassionate way: connecting faith and politics
An independent lot: religion and grassroots activism
Afterword: religion and the politics of identity.
