Introducing American Religion provides a lively and concise
overview of the historical development of religion in the USA. In
four parts, Charles Lippy traces the history of American religion
from Europe, Native American and African life, through to the age
of independence, and on to the late twentieth century up to the
present day.
The narrative lays particular stress on the development of
diversity and pluralism in American religious life. It explores the
African American experience through slavery, Roman Catholic and
Jewish immigration, political and economic factors, the impact of
Latino culture, and the growth of Hinduism and Buddhism, as well as
the concept of American civil religion. Introducing American
Religion is ideal reading for students wishing to develop a broad
understanding of American religious history. Illustrated throughout
and featuring quotations from original sources, it includes text
boxes, summary charts, study questions, a glossary and lists of
further reading and weblinks to aid students with revision.
