Samenvatting

This student-friendly introduction combines both thematic andchronological approaches in exploring the pivotal role religionplayed in American history - and of its impact across a range ofissues, from identity formation and politics, to race, gender, andclass.

Throughout the history of the United States, religion contributed both to forces of diversity, fragmentation, and factionalism, and also to the need for union and a sense of cultural belonging. Bringing together a team of the world’s leading scholars in the field, this book provides a cutting edge interpretation about the place of religion in American history and its impact across a range of issues, from identity formation and politics, to race, gender, and class.

With a crisp and engaging style, Religion in American History is a comprehensive introduction to the field of American religious history, ranging from the earliest contact between Europeans and Native Americans, right through to the present day. It is accessibly structured in to four key eras covering: exploration and encounter (1492−1676); the Atlantic world (1676−1802); American empire (1803−1898); and global reach (1898−present). Blending together a chronological approach with thematic organization, the chapters reference each other in ways that make possible interconnections between historical periods and among the different areas of religious life.
