| Résumé: | American religious history can be divided rather neatly into two periods. The first, beginning with Native American religion down to and through the Revolution, involved the competing religious parties in territorial conflict over land. The Great Awakening, the Revolution, and the growth of competition among denominations meant a turn from concern for "landscape" to one of "cityscape," without diminishing the struggles over space. This paper examines this conflict from the viewpoint of a number of sociological theories of conflict, settling on models from Georg Simmel as being more satisfying than others in helping account for American religious tensions. |
