God And Ronald Reagan

Historian Paul Kengor investigates the religious and spiritual currents that informed Ronald Reagan's life and career. He explains the specific religious instruction given to young Ronald, his experiences as a Sunday school teacher, and the abiding faith which shaped his character and was a key aspect of his public life and, especially, his presidency. He cites the many and wide-ranging influences--including C.S. Lewis and Alexander Solzhenitsyn--who confirmed Reagan's view of the Soviet Union as a godless state. Kengor cites Reagan's voluminous writings, and draws on interviews with those who knew him. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only. All rights reserved.
