Product Description

This student-friendly introduction combines both thematic and chronological approaches in exploring the pivotal role religion played in American history - and of its impact across a range of issues, from identity formation and politics, to race, gender, and class. This title presents a comprehensive introduction to American religious history that successfully combines thematic and chronological approaches, aiding both teaching and learning. It brings together a stellar cast of experts to trace the development of theology, the political order, practice, and race, ethnicity, gender and class throughout America's history. It is accessibly structured in to four key eras: Exploration and Encounter (1492-1676); The Atlantic World (1676-1802); American Empire (1803-1898); and, Global Reach (1898-present). It investigates the role of religion in forming people's identities, emotional experiences, social conflict, politics, and patriotism.
