GOLEMON, L. A., Clergy Education in America. Religious Leadership and American Public Life. Oxford University Press, 2021. 384p. Hardback. Series: Religion in America Series. This is a remarkable accomplishment. Golemon traces the history of educating the clergy in Protestant, Catholic, and Jewish traditions over the course of three centuries. He covers not only Euro-American institutions but also the educating of African Americans, women, and working-class white leaders. His vision of ministers, priests, and rabbis as participants in the civic culture of the nation recovers and refurbishes a long tradition. This is a learned reflection on the meaning of religious leadership, and throughout he has a provocative argument that will stir discussion and debate for at least the next decade. Golemon's book is a wide-ranging yet focused, learned yet eminently accessible reflection on the meaning of religious leadership. E.
