Panel, New Book Exploring Religion and the American Presidency
Please join us on January 30, 2012 at the National Press Club for an engaging panel discussion of Religion and the American Presidency.
Leading scholars will explore the role religion and the candidates' faiths will play in the 2012 general election, along with a major new book that situates the current election within its historical context. The event is hosted by the Institute for Policy Research and Catholic Studies at The Catholic University of America.
Moderated by author and NPR national religion correspondent, Barbara Bradley Hagerty, the discussion will kick off the release of a new edition of an acclaimed book on presidents and their faith, co-edited by George Mason University Professor Dr. Mark Rozell. The book, Religion and the American Presidency, reveals religion's influence on the lives and decisions of American Presidents.
Additional details about the book can be found here.
