"Dissent in American Religion," originally published in 1973, was
the first book to present religious dissent in the United States as
a pervasive but hidden and often-ignored stream in American life.
The first volume in the Chicago History of American Religion
series, it reviewed the history of our nation's longest dissenting
tradition--a tradition older and richer in the realm of religion
than in any other facet of national life. Indeed, Edwin Scott
Gaustad argued that religious dissent was essential to the
character of the American religious experience and stood in
profound disagreement with society's orthodox values and beliefs.
This new edition, which reinaugurates the Chicago History of
American Religion series under the new editorship of John Corrigan,
features new commentary by Gaustad and Corrigan on the past thirty
years of American religious history and the importance of
understanding dissent in American religion today.
"This is an important and erudite work which shows the originality
and scope which scholarship can bring to human experience." --"Los
Angeles"" Times
""We shall understand the religious past and present better for
reading Gaustad's brief, well-written, helpful book." --"Commonweal
