Modern Politics

Piety and Politics by Barry Lynn
Lynn is the head of an organization calling for careful separation of church and state (Americans United for Separation of Church and State), and he and his organization have figured prominently in several court cases surrounding this topic. He is a very well informed author, having been a front and center player in many of the leading civil liberty issues during the past thirty or so years.

Faith and Politics by John Danforth
Danforth has an impressive background. He is an Episcopalian minister, has been a US Senator, and a United Nations ambassador. He is a lifelong Republican, and writes about the traditional values of the Republican party, and the current trends in the Republican party, which he finds deplorable.
