The evolution of religious diversity and complexity in the United
States is explained clearly in this richly illustrated historical
work. This volume provides an overview of the more than 400 native
tribal religions at the time of Columbus, examines the major
survivors, and discusses contemporary efforts to breathe new life
into old faiths. The book charts the initial colonization and the
arrival of religious pioneers and tells how religious groups in the
post Revolutionary era struggled with their new dependence on
voluntary member support. This easy to read, easy to understand
reference work outlines the evolution, key developments, and
seminal figures in this most tolerant of religious settings.
American Religions: An Illustrated History is generously enhanced
with more than 200 illustrations-many of them rare-and written in
accessible language without scholarly jargon. Divided into eight
concise chronological and thematic chapters Includes a
comprehensive introduction and chapter bibliographies
