The writing is strong throughout."--Publishers Weekly (starred review) "One can hardly do better than Religion in American Life.... A good read, especially for the uninitiated. The initiated might also read it for its felicity of narrative and the moments of illumination that fine scholars can inject even into stories we have all heard before.

Download or read book Religion in American History written by Jon Butler and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1998 with total page 517 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the end of the twentieth century, religion seems to be ubiquitous in America. Its existence and influence are especially apparent in our politics, but its presence is most deeply felt in our personal lives and experience. Was it always this way? Offering a rich selection of classic and recent scholarship, Religion in American History: A Reader presents an extraordinary portrait of religion's fate across four centuries of the American experience. Its essays cover major issues in American history and religion, detailing religion's purpose in American life and examining many topics that are either ignored or minimized in similar books. It addresses the decline and revival of American Indian religion; women's powerful roles in American religion; immigration, assimilation, and separation and how they have contributed to the American religious experience; political activism; and religious bigotry. It also discusses Catholics, Protestants and fundamentalism, Mormons, and Jews. Selected debates encourage readers to test conflicting interpretations about religion's impact on American history, and original documents trace religion's influence on slavery, race, and politics from the colonial era to the late twentieth century. Divided into three sections - colonial era, nineteenth century, and twentieth century - and featuring essays by prominent American historians, this volume serves as an excellent text for courses in American Religion, the History of Religion, and Religion and Culture. It is enhanced by helpful introductions to each essay and ample suggestions for further reading. Uniquely comprehensive, Religion in American History: A Reader serves as a one-volume tour through America's tumultuous, varied, and often misunderstood religious past.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Selected Bibliography of the Religious Denominations of the United States This list is designed to furnish a guide to the study of the churches and religious denominations of the United States. This purpose is best served by a selected list rather than by a complete bibliography. It aims to pre sent to the student, in systematic form, references to the best books on the history, doctrines and polity of each church. Wherever year-books or journals of conferences are published by a denomination or in its interest, these are recorded as furnishing valuable statistical information. A few of the most eminent or most representative weekly journals and the leading church reviews are included. In all cases where obtainable, publisher, place and date of publication and price have been given. It 18 thought that this little list will be of value to clergymen, theological seminaries and Christian workers generally. In attempting to give to each student a list that will not only help him to understand his own de nomination better, but will guide him to the best that has been written about other denominations, my underly ing purpose has been to contribute something to church union, and still more to Christian unity.
