About This hardback
With contributions as diverse as Black Elk’s Native American spirituality, Frederick Douglass’s religious condemnation of slaveholding, and Mary McCarthy’s agnostic uncertainty, Memoirs of the Spirit captures America’s soul in the words of the people who helped shape it.
Each of the twenty-six autobiographical reflections is prefaced by a brief biographical introduction by editor Edwin Gaustad and full-page portrait of its author, if available. Together, these chapters illustrate the wide range of faiths coloring American history: conservative and liberal Protestantism, conservative and liberal Catholicism, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, and others. Memoirs of the Spirit offers an enlightening view of America’s rich religious past—and suggests the multiplicity that is America’s religious future.
Spiritual autobiographies by:
Mary Rowlandson
Jonathan Edwards
Benjamin Rush
Richard Allen
Peter Cartwright
