Reviews
Hankins' descriptive historicism and concise storytelling make the book accessible to both public audiences and scholars, especially those interested in the relationship between religion and American political history. * Morgan Frick, The University of Alabama, Religious Studies Review *
The book includes a helpful index (225-35), a selected bibliography (219-23), and recommends itself not only to scholars interested in the U.S. presidency, but also in the manifold interrelations of religion and politics in modernity, which are in such dire needof more substantial research. * Philipp Reisner, Amst *
All in all, this is an impressive brief biography, easily read by undergraduates as well as scholars in the field. ...Hankin's book is a valuable introduction to Woodrow Wilson's spiritual beliefs and to those of the Progressive Era. * Hans P. Vought, Fides et Historia *
Awards
