A Christian and a Democrat - A Religious Biography of Franklin D. Roosevelt

When asked at a press conference about the roots of his political philosophy, President Franklin Roosevelt responded, "I am a Christian and a Democrat." This volume tells the story of how the first informed the second, showing how FDR's upbringing formed him into a leader whose politics were fundamentally shaped by the social gospel.
