" ... [An] effort to fully explain the development of American religious history and its creation within evolving political and social frameworks. Spans a wide range of traditions and movements, from the Baptists and Methodists, to Buddhists and Mormons. Explores topics ranging from religion and the media, immigration, and piety, though to politics and social reform. Considers how American religion has influenced and been interpreted in literature and popular culture. Provides insights into the historiography of religion, but presents the subject as a story in motion rather than a snapshot of where the field is at a given moment"--EBL book details
