About this Item
Description:
Seller Inventory # 0060846704-3-25034530
Synopsis:
A religious primer serves as an argument for why the author believes that religion should become a mandatory subject in American public schools, contending that most Americans are not able to identify basic tenets of their faith and that key political challenges can be better met with faith-based resolutions.
Review:
"Remarkable...an especially deft examination of the reasons for Americans' religious literacy."--Washington Monthly
"Compelling and persuasively presented . . . a critical addition to the debate about teaching religion in public school."--San Francisco Chronicle
"Prothero makes you want to go back to college ... a scholar with the soul of a late-night television comic."--Newsweek
"Religious Literacy presents a compelling argument for Bible-literacy courses."--Time magazine
"Provocative and timely . . . Combines a lively history with a set of proposed remedies."--Washington Post Book World
"Prothero's book can be recommended for its readability. It is constantly interesting, very well-written, and chock full of essential information about all religions...This could be one of the most important books to be published this year. It deserves serious attention."--Journal of American Culture
"Smart but gentle, loving but blunt, Prothero is uniquely qualified to guide us through the fraught fields of faith."--Bruce Feiler, author of Walking the Bible and Where God Was Born
"A compelling, provocative, wholly innovative historical interpretation of the place of learning in American religious life. I love this book!"--Lauren F. Winner, author of Girl Meets God and Real Sex
This book is a must-read not only for educators, clergy and government officials, but for all adults. --Publishers Weekly (starred review)"
Smart but gentle, loving but blunt, Prothero is uniquely qualified to guide us through the fraught fields of faith. --Bruce Feiler, author of Walking the Bible and Where God Was Born"
