PULLMAN, Wash. – As the nation ramps up for another presidential election, religion is again part of the political conversation.
Matthew A. Sutton, associate professor of history at Washington State University, addresses the issue in a thoughtful, nonpartisan manner through in-depth studies on the origins and history of religion and politics in America.
Hoping to make history relevant to his students and the wider public, Sutton publishes in many venues, including a recent op-ed in the New York Times. His book, “Aimee Semple McPherson and the Resurrection of Christian America,” has been used as the basis for a new musical, “Saving Aimee.” He also was featured on MSNBC and in a PBS documentary about McPherson.
