{"product_id":"godly-republic-9780520934511","title":"Godly Republic","description":"\"Do you know if you are going to heaven?\" Shortly after being appointed the first Director of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives—the \"faith czar\"—John J. DiIulio Jr. was asked this question. Suddenly DiIulio, a Catholic Democrat who pioneered programs for inner-city children, was acutely aware that he was no longer a private citizen who might have humored the television evangelist standing before him. Now he was, as he recalls in his introduction—\"responsible for assisting the president in faithfully upholding the Constitution . . . and faithfully acting in the public interest without regard to religious identities.\" \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUsing his brief tenure in the George W. Bush administration as a springboard, this lively, informative, and entertaining book leaps into the ongoing debate over whether as a nation America is Christian or secular and to what degree church-state separation is compelled by the Constitution. Avoiding political pieties, DiIulio makes an impassioned case for a middle way. Written by a leading political scholar, \u003ci\u003eGodly Republic \u003c\/i\u003eoffers a fast-paced, faith-inspired, and fact-based approach to enhancing America's civic future for one and all.","brand":"John J.
