THE POLITICS AT GOD’S FUNERAL

Holt, Rinehart and Winston, New York, 1983, 1^st/1^st.  ISBN 0-03-062152-6.  Hard cover, 308 pages including Appendices, Bibliography, Notes, and Index.  Very good; red cloth with gilt lettering on spine; binding sound with headbands; light edge wear.  Dust jacket with price intact has been taped at spine ends and then covered with BroDart.  Pencil erasure and small stamp on FEP, a few small soil spots/smudges, a few spots on outer page block.  ‘For God has been one of the most important political figures in Western history, and his demise means not only empty churches and bereft individuals but a rending of the entire social fabric.  If society no longer provides a plausible answer because its most prominent spokesperson, God, is dead, or dying, is that not precisely the reason that there is such bewilderment and anxiety in every Western society today?’ (from front flap)
