Reviews:
-"Domenico and Hanley have produced a concise set offering global in-depth coverage of Christian people, organizations, and reform groups-Catholic, Protestant, and Orthodox-that have had a significant influence on politics. The text begins with an A-to-Z listing of entries followed by the entries, also arranged alphabetically. It thoroughly covers Christian political influences from 1789 to the present day....[a]ccessible to nonscholars without losing depth. The authors take into account the delicate intricacies of church-state relations across history and geographic location and address this potential haphazardness with style and ease. This reference set would make a fine contribution to any academic library seeking thorough coverage in the areas of Christianity and/or global political influence."

-"The purpose is to illustrate the breadth and significance of Christian activism in, and influence on, modern politics, rather than to cite every example of it. Scholars of history and religion, and to a lesser degree of literature and other fields, discuss people, organizations, and movements that drew specifically from Christian ideas to influence other people's political views. For example, Franco is included but Hitler is not. Modern begins in 1789, and the geographic range is all of Christendom, though Europe and North America get the most attention. The two volumes are paged and indexed together."
