American Prophets: The Religious Roots of Progressive Politics and the Ongoing Fight for the Soul of the Country by Jack Jenkins

4.0

A really well-written book that takes an in-depth look at a contemporary and often under-studied part of American life. Some parts are admittedly dense, with lots of names talking about who did what, and some parts are crying out for a bit more story and a bit less of a listing of facts — two factors that kept me from giving this five stars. But Jack Jenkins is a great reporter and author, and I’m excited to see what he’s got coming next.
