To tell the story of America is, in many ways, to tell the story of
religion in America. At every point in its history, America was,
and still is, religiousâand diversely so. To understand how
religion shaped America's history is to trace the influence of
America's dominant faith tradition, Christianity. But American
Christianity, like religion in America, is a wonderfully varied
movement. In this comprehensive, eminently readable introduction,
Christopher Evans maps the pluralism of American Christianity
around its historic center, demonstrating the enduring role of
Protestantism despite the wide assortment of distinctly American
religious innovation. In Histories of American Christianity , Evans
thus narrates the intellectual history, chronicles the story of
sectarian divisions, and explores how Christianity became so
intertwined with and pervasive in public life. But Evans also
shines fresh light on what has been omitted. Through the use of
individual stories focusing on the traditionally
marginalizedâe.g., women, African Americans, and Latino/a
descendantsâEvans weaves together a tapestry of American-Christian
orthodoxy and tradition over the centuries. What results is a
readable and teachable volume, grounded in research and packed with
critical reflection that chronicles America's rich Christian
history.
