A broad overview article introduces students to the very beginnings
of Christianity in North America up to the present, as well as the
origins of Christianity in Canada and Mexico. It shows students how
each region has its own history, yet are all interrelated due to
the colonial context. The book explores how the First Amendment to
the American Constitution separated religion from the state, and
also explores the debated idea of the United States as a Christian
nation, and why that has been a persistent narrative in America’s
history. The book takes a topical approach and coverage includes
race and Christianity, Native Americans and Christianity, Latinx
and Christianity, Asian Americans and Christianity, and African
Americans and Christianity. The book discusses Christianity and
politics, Christians and the abortion divide, Catholicisms,
Protestantisms, and Evangelical Christianities, as well as
religious freedom. 80 illustrations are included throughout, and
each chapter includes guidance on further reading. A glossary of
key terms and concepts is included.
