The United States has long been defined by its religious diversity
and recurrent public debates over the religious and political
values that define it. In Accidental Pluralism, Evan Haefeli argues
that America did not begin as a religiously diverse and tolerant
society. It became so only because England's religious unity
collapsed just as America was being colonized. By tying the
emergence of American religious toleration to global events,
Haefeli creates a true transnationalist history that links
developing American realities to political and social conflicts and
resolutions in Europe, showing how the relationships among states,
churches, and publics were contested from the beginning of the
colonial era and produced a society that no one had anticipated.
Accidental Pluralism is an ambitious and comprehensive new account
of the origins of American religious life that compels us to refine
our narratives about what came to be seen as American values and
their distinct relationship to religion and politics.
