About
History of American Religion, 1865 to Present will introduce students to the questions and problems associated with American religious history. Our primary concern will be to consider the varieties of American religious experience while keeping in mind the importance of pluralism in the U.S. context. We will read a number of genres in American religious history, including studies that focus on charismatic individuals, religious practice, denominations, public life, and the influence of race, gender, class, region and immigration.
