| Résumé: | Like most of Andrew Greeley's books, this argumentative little work is an engaging amalgam of fact and fiction. Co-authored by Michael Hout, it certainly has many virtues. To begin with, one sympathizes with the authors' titular objective: much alarmist rubbish has been published about Christian conservatives, as any visit to Barnes & Noble will attest. And their corrective makes wonderful reading: no dry academic tome, but rather a colorful commentary for scholars. There is enough information on statistical procedures to reassure most purists, but never so much as to obscure the analysis. And the cover blurbs are truthful: there is something interesting on every page. |
