There aren't many winners with religion as a primary concern. Perhaps Edward Larson's 1998 _Summer for the Gods: The Scopes Trial and America's Continuin Debate Over Science and Religion_ is the most recent. Of course, Louis Menand's _The Metaphysical Club_ discusses religion quite a bit. But my favorites--books that I go back to time and time again--are Leon Litwack's _Been in the Storm So Long_ (awarded 1980) and Rhys Isaac's _The Transformation of Virginia_ (awarded 1983). <BR/><BR/>Interestingly, the 1976 winner was a biography of a little-known French-born Catholic priest in nineteenth-century New Mexico, called _Lamy of Santa Fe_.<BR/><BR/>Perry Miller won in 1966 with _The Life of the Mind in America_.Mike Pasquierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00910360700893031424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37589721331585843.post-27711601304357172082008-04-15T10:17:00.000-06:002008-04-15T10:17:00.000-06:00Sometimes I wonder if the "Bank War" will ever end...Sometimes I wonder if the "Bank War" will ever end.
