In his new book, E.J. Dionne, Jr. explores the changing dynamic between politics and religion. Mr. Dionne argues that the political power of the Religious Right is fading as Americans reclaim their faith from partisan and ideological purposes and find common ground with Americans across the political spectrum on issues such as social justice, peace, and the environment. E.J. Dionne, Jr. will discuss his new book with Professor Larry Jacobs.
