The day after

the long version

"Following up on the widely discussed Judgment Day at the White House, Gabriel Fackre in The Day After looks back on the process surrounding the Clinton impeachment hearings and explores its continuing relevance for our understanding of religion and politics.". "Fackre shows that "moral crisis" and "White House religion," charges laid by church leaders against the Nixon administration, had their counterpart in the "Declaration concerning Religion, Ethics, and the Crisis in the Clinton Presidency" - the highly publicized protest in late 1998 of nearly 200 teachers of theology and ethics against the manipulation of religion for political purposes. Fackre looks behind the Declaration and tells the story of this significant voice of dissent.". "The Day After provides a timely case study for classroom discussion as well as thought provoking reflection for readers interested in religion and politics."--BOOK JACKET.
