Christianity in North America - An Introduction

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.
