Description

Religion, race, and American history. America's Religious History offers an up-to-date, narrative-based introduction to the unique role of faith in American history. Useful for classroom and personal study of American religion, its balanced, authoritative assessment not only provides a clear view of the overall narrative arc of American religious history but will also help you better understand your own faith background. America's Religious History also features a fuller account of the experiences of religious people of color, especially Latino and African Americans, than what is available in many popular presentations. Moving beyond present-day polemics to understand the challenges and nuances of our religious past, Kidd interweaves religious history and key events from the larger story of American history, presenting a more accurate, ethnically inclusive portrait of how faith -- particularly evangelical Christianity -- has shaped American life and politics. -- Jacket flap.
