Dorothy L. Williams, Senior Research Associate, both of the Search Institute.

"Very good, very solid piece of research. Excellent for dispelling myths about religion and politics. Can help many who are religious to understand why they sometimes differ so greatly with others who are also religious."--Anton K. Jacobs, William Jewell College

"Interesting....Well written and well organized."--Contemporary Sociology

"One of the most important books to appear in the social sciences in the past decade....Highly recommended for classroom use at the undergraduate level. The writing style is relaxed and colloquial, and novel concepts are illustrated with useful examples....Likely to be a landmark study in
religion and politics generally, as well as in the study of Congressional behavior....A valuable work, which is likely to guide future research for years to come."--Review of Religious Research

"Brilliant, innovative, and important! Its findings help to clarify the connection between religion and politics for all who study the topic."--Michael R. Welch, University of Notre Dame

"Seminal, a point of departure for those political scientists who think religion is every bit as important as class (or interest) in understanding American politics."--American Political Science Review

"A careful, forthright study, worthy of attention from all those interested in the intersections of religion and politics."--George Wright, Golden Gate University

"As our nation gears up for the 1988 elections, the issue of religion in politics will receive considerable attention. The new paperback edition of Religion on Capitol Hill helps us understand the subject better."--Newsletter of the Christian Sociological Society

"While the authors are never critical of the New Right, their results call into question some of its assumptions. Congress, they write, 'is not a hotbed of secular humanism, agnosticism and atheism,' for the representatives are as religious as the represented....Unique, illuminating and
objective."--Los Angeles Times Book Review
