Any understanding of America as a nation of spiritual values will in the years ahead require Needleman's work as a point of reference.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47156725547248,"sku":"9781440650444","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781440650444_p0.jpg?v=1763788061","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781440650444","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
