This book explores how we create deep maps, delving into the
development of methods and approaches that move beyond standard
two-dimensional cartography. Deep mapping offers a more detailed
exploration of the world we inhabit. Moving from concept to
practice, this book addresses how we make deep maps. It explores
what methods are available, what technologies and approaches are
favorable when designing deep maps, and what lessons assist the
practitioner during their construction. This book aims to create an
open-ended way in which to understand complex problems through
multiple perspectives, while providing a means to represent the
physical properties of the real world and to respond to the needs
of contemporary scholarship. With contributions from leading
experts in the spatial humanities, chapters focus on the linked
layers of quantitative and qualitative data, maps, photographs,
images, and sound that offer a dynamic view of past and present
worlds. This innovative book is the first to offer these insights
on the construction of deep maps. It will be a key point of
reference for students and scholars in the digital and spatial
humanities, geographers, cartographers, and computer scientists who
work on spatiality, sensory experience, and perceptual learning.

The second edition of Jews, Christians, Muslims: A Comparative
Introduction to Monotheistic Religions, compares Judaism,
Christianity, and Islam using seven common themes which are equally
relevant to each tradition. Provoking critical thinking, this text
addresses the cultural framework of religious meanings and explores
the similarities and differences among Judaism, Christianity, and
Islam as it explains the ongoing process of interpretation in each
religion. The book is designed for courses in Western and World
Religions.
This comprehensive narrative account of religion in America from
the sixteenth century through the present depicts the religious
life of the American people within the context of American society.
It addresses topics ranging from the European origins of American
religious thought and the diversity of religion in America, to the
relation of nationhood with religious practice and the importance
of race, ethnicity, and gender in American religious history. Split
into four parts this textbook covers: Religion in a Colonial
Context, 1492-1789 The New Nation, 1789-1865 Years of Midpassage,
1865-1918 Modern America, 1918- Present This new edition has been
thoroughly updated to include further discussion of colonialism,
religious minorities, space and empire, religious freedom, emotion,
popular religion, sexuality, the ascent of the "nones,"
Islamophobia, and the development of an American mission to the
world. With a detailed timeline, illustrations and maps throughout,
and an accompanying companion website Religion in America is the
perfect introduction for students new to the study of this topic
who wish to understand the key themes, places, and people who
shaped the world as we know it today.
Deep maps are finely detailed, multimedia depictions of a place and
the people, buildings, objects, flora, and fauna that exist within
it and which are inseparable from the activities of everyday life.
These depictions may encompass the beliefs, desires, hopes, and
fears of residents and help show what ties one place to another. A
deep map is a way to engage evidence within its spatio-temporal
context and to provide a platform for a spatially-embedded
argument. The essays in this book investigate deep mapping and the
spatial narratives that stem from it. The authors come from a
variety of disciplines: history, religious studies, geography and
geographic information science, and computer science. Each applies
the concepts of space, time, and place to problems central to an
understanding of society and culture, employing deep maps to reveal
the confluence of actions and evidence and to trace paths of
intellectual exploration by making use of a new creative space that
is visual, structurally open, multi-media, and multi-layered.

A provocative examination of how religious practices of forgetting
drive white Christian nationalism. Â The dual traumas of
colonialism and slavery are still felt by Native Americans and
African Americans as victims of ongoing violence toward people of
color today. In The Feeling of Forgetting, John Corrigan calls
attention to the trauma experienced by white Americans as
perpetrators of this violence. By tracing memory’s role in
American Christianity, Corrigan shows how contemporary white
Christian nationalism is motivated by a widespread effort to forget
the role race plays in American society. White trauma, Corrigan
argues, courses through American culture like an underground river
that sometimes bursts forth into brutality, terrorism, and
insurrection. Tracing the river to its source is a necessary first
step toward healing. Â
The contributors to Feeling Religion analyze the historical and
contemporary entwinement of emotion, religion, spirituality, and
secularism. They show how attending to these entanglements
transforms understandings of metaphysics, ethics, ritual, religious
music and poetry, the environment, popular culture, and the secular
while producing new angles from which to approach familiar
subjects. At the same time, their engagement with race, ethnicity,
gender, sexuality, and nation in studies of topics as divergent as
documentary film, Islamic environmentalism, and Jewish music
demonstrates the ways in which interrogating emotion's role in
religious practice and interpretation is refiguring the field of
religious studies and beyond. Contributors. Diana Fritz Cates, John

As the news shows us every day, contemporary American culture and
politics are rife with people who demonize their enemies by
projecting their own failings and flaws onto them. But this is no
recent development. Rather, as John Corrigan argues here, it's an
expression of a trauma endemic to America's history, particularly
involving our long domestic record of religious conflict and
violence. Religious Intolerance, America, and the World spans from
Christian colonists' intolerance of Native Americans and the role
of religion in the new republic's foreign-policy crises to Cold War
witch hunts and the persecution complexes that entangle Christians
and Muslims today. Corrigan reveals how US churches and
institutions have continuously campaigned against intolerance
overseas even as they've abetted or performed it at home. This
selective condemnation of intolerance, he shows, created a legacy
of foreign policy interventions promoting religious freedom and
human rights that was not reflected within America's own borders.
This timely, captivating book forces America to confront its claims
of exceptionalism based on religious liberty--and perhaps begin to
break the grotesque cycle of projection and oppression.

Business is an understudied area in American religious history that
has profound implications for how we understand the popularity and
ongoing transformation of religion in the US. This volume explores
the business aspects of American religious organizations by
analyzing the financing, production, marketing, and distribution of
religious goods and services and the role of wealth and economic
organization in sustaining and even shaping worship, charity,
philanthropy, institutional growth and missionary work. Treating
religion and business holistically, the essays show how business
practices have continually informed American religious life. Laying
important groundwork for further investigation, the essays show how
American business has operated as a domain for achieving religious
purpose that historians of religion often overlook. Even when
critics denounce its corruption and fallen state, business occupies
a central place in American religious life that merits better
understanding. Historically, religion has been more powerful in
America when interwoven with business. Chapters on Mormon
enterprise, Jewish philanthropy, Hindu gurus, Native American
casinos, and the wedding of business wealth to conservative
Catholic social teaching indicate the range of new studies
stimulated by the business turn in American religious history.
Other essays show how evangelicals joined neo-liberal economic
practice and right-wing politics to religious fundamentalism to
consolidate wealth and power, and develop marketing campaigns and
organizational strategies that transformed the broader parameters
of American religious life. All these essays stimulate new ways of
thinking about American religious history, and about American
success. Some essays in this volume expose the moral compromises
religious organizations have made to succeed as centers of wealth
and influence, and the religious beliefs that rationalize and
justify these compromises. Other essays dwell on the application of
business practices as a means of sustaining religious institutions
and expanding their reach. Still others take account of controversy
over business practices within religious organizations, and the
adjustments religious organizations have made in response.
Together, the essays collected here offer various ways of
conceptualizing the interdependence of religion and business in the
U.S., establishing multiple paths for further study of their
intertwined historical development.

The story of religion in America is one of unparalleled diversity
and protection of the religious rights of individuals. But that
story is a muddied one. This new and expanded edition of a
classroom favorite tells a jolting history-illuminated by
historical texts, pictures, songs, cartoons, letters, and even
t-shirts-of how our society has been and continues to be replete
with religious intolerance. It powerfully reveals the narrow gap
between intolerance and violence in America. The second edition
contains a new chapter on Islamophobia and adds fresh material on
the Christian persecution complex, white supremacy and other
race-related issues, sexuality, and the role played by social
media. John Corrigan and Lynn S. Neal's overarching narrative
weaves together a rich, compelling array of textual and visual
materials. Arranged thematically, each chapter provides a broad
historical background, and each document or cluster of related
documents is entwined in context as a discussion of the issues
unfolds. The need for this book has only increased in the midst of
today's raging conflicts about immigration, terrorism, race,
religious freedom, and patriotism.
Assessing the grand American evangelical missionary venture to
convert the world, this international group of leading scholars
reveals how theological imperatives have intersected with worldly
imaginaries from the nineteenth century to the present. Countering
the stubborn notion that conservative Protestant groups have
steadfastly maintained their distance from governmental and
economic affairs, these experts show how believers' ambitious
investments in missionizing and humanitarianism have connected with
worldly matters of empire, the Cold War, foreign policy, and
neoliberalism. They show, too, how evangelicals' international
activism redefined the content and the boundaries of the movement
itself. As evangelical voices from Africa, Asia, and Latin America
became more vocal and assertive, U.S. evangelicals took on more
pluralistic, multidirectional identities not only abroad but also
back home. Applying this international perspective to the history
of American evangelicalism radically changes how we understand the
development and influence of evangelicalism, and of globalizing
religion more broadly. In addition to a critical introduction and
essays by editors John Corrigan, Melani McAlister, and Axel R.

How do emotions change over time? When is hate honorable? What
happens when "love" is translated into different languages? Such
questions are now being addressed by historians who trace how
emotions have been expressed and understood in different cultures
throughout history. Doing Emotions History explores the history of
feelings such as love, joy, grief, nostalgia as well as a wide
range of others, bringing together the latest and most innovative
scholarship on the history of the emotions. Spanning the globe from
Asia and Europe to North America, the book provides a crucial
overview of this emerging discipline. An international group of
scholars reviews the field's current status and variations,
addresses many of its central debates, provides models and methods,
and proposes an array of possibilities for future research.
Emphasizing the field's intersections with anthropology,
psychology, sociology, neuroscience, data-mining, and popular
culture, this groundbreaking volume demonstrates the affecting
potential of doing emotions history. Contributors are John
Corrigan, Pam Epstein, Nicole Eustace, Norman Kutcher, Brent Malin,
Susan Matt, Darrin McMahon, Peter N. Stearns, and Mark Steinberg.

Geographic information systems (GIS) have spurred a renewed
interest in the influence of geographical space on human behavior
and cultural development. Ideally GIS enables humanities scholars
to discover relationships of memory, artifact, and experience that
exist in a particular place and across time. Although successfully
used by other disciplines, efforts by humanists to apply GIS and
the spatial analytic method in their studies have been limited and
halting. The Spatial Humanities aims to re-orient and perhaps
revolutionize humanities scholarship by critically engaging the
technology and specifically directing it to the subject matter of
the humanities. To this end, the contributors explore the potential
of spatial methods such as text-based geographical analysis,
multimedia GIS, animated maps, deep contingency, deep mapping, and
the geo-spatial semantic web."
