Books by John R. Pottenger

The author shows that the religious axis' three philosophical foundations-epistemic, axiological, and political-undergird the political architecture of American liberal democracy that designed a containment structure to protect a vast array of religious expressions and encourage their presence in the public square.

Uses examples from history to demonstrate the genesis of political and religious "whirlwinds." This title explores contemporary case studies, such as conflicts between Mormons and Evangelicals in the United States, liberation theology in Latin America, Islam and the state in Uzbekistan, and radical Christian reconstructionism.
