Religion, race, and American history.
America's Religious History is an up-to-date, narrative-based introduction to the unique role of faith in American history. Moving beyond present-day polemics to understand the challenges and nuances of our religious past, leading historian Thomas S. Kidd interweaves religious history and key events from the larger story of American history, including:
The Great Awakening
The American Revolution
Slavery and the Civil War
Civil rights and church-state controversy
Immigration, religious diversity, and the culture wars
Useful for both classroom and personal study, America's Religious History provides a balanced, authoritative assessment of how faith has shaped American life and politics.
Thomas S. Kidd (PhD, Notre Dame) is distinguished professor of history at Baylor University.
