Review Quotes: "[A] rich analysis of the religious right's influence on the U.S. House of Representatives...Cohen's book occupies a once-empty niche in the literature on congressional polarization...Using a balanced mix of qualitative and quantitative methods, Cohen meticulously documents how attitudes about moral issues became increasingly polarized--and predictive of vote choice--once the religious right came onto the political scene."-- "Congress & the Presidency"
