Rozell and Wilcox have provided a excellent set of case studies that demonstrate both the power and the limitations of religious conservatism in American politics. The main strength of the book is its detailed insider's view of state politics.

All readers will find much originality and value in the systematic analysis of the often-contrasting views of Reed and Robertson. The major strength of the book is the finely detailed analysis of these two goals on the two chapters analyzing the coalition's 'dreams' off restoration and recognition.

God at the Grassroots is both helpful and timely. This book is valuable as a collection of well-researched vignettes, and also well-written and insightful.

Rozell and Wilcox have again assembled a diverse and talented cast who produce a volume that makes a contribution to our understanding of the connections between social movements and electoral politics. . . . An invaluable resource for information about state politics and the Christian Right. The volume should not merely remain a resource, however, but should make it into your classrooms.

All readers will find much originality and value in the systematic analysis of the often-contrasting views of Reed and Robertson.
