"It is refreshing to be able to use 'accessible' and 'authoritative' in the same sentence,
and even nicer to find these two attributes in a single book. Each author is an
acclaimed authority in his period and, happily, each is a gifted writer. The result is
a splendid introduction to American religion."

EDWIN S. GAUSTAD,
editor of New Historical Atlas of Religion in America
The new paperback edition of Religion in American Life, written by three of the country's
most eminent historians of religion, offers a superb overview that spans four centuries,
illuminating the rich spiritual heritage central to nearly every event in our nation's his¬
tory. Jon Butler begins by describing the state of religious affairs in both the Old and New Worlds
on the eve of colonization. He traces the progress of religion in the colonies through the time of
the American Revolution, covering all the religious groups, Protestants, Jews, and Catholics, as
well as the unique religious experiences of Native Americans and African Americans. Grant
Wacker
continues the story with a fascinating look at the ever-shifting religious landscape of nineteenth-
century America. He focuses on the rapid growth of evangelical Protestants
—
Methodists,
Presbyterians, Baptists, and others
—
and their competition for dominance over religions such
as Catholicism and Judaism, which continued to increase with large immigrant arrivals from
Ireland, Eastern Europe, and other countries. The twentieth century saw massive cultural changes.
Randall Balmer discusses the effects industrialization, modernization, and secularization had on
new and established religions. He examines Protestants, Hindus, Jews, Muslims, New Age believ¬
ers, Mormons, Buddhists, Roman Catholics, and many more, providing a clear look into the
kaleidoscope of religious belief in modern-day America.
JON' BUTLER is Howard R. Lamar Professor of American Studies, History, and Religious
Studies and Dean of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences at Yale University. He is the
author of Awash in a Sea of Faith: Christianizing the American People and Becoming America:
The Revolution Before
1776
and, with Harry S. Stout, editor of Religion in American History:
A Reader.

K E R
is Professor of Church History at Duke University Divinity School. He is
the author of Heaven Below: Early Pentecostals and American Culture, Religion in Nineteenth
Century America (OUP,
2000)
and Pentecostal Currents in American Protestantism.
RANDALL

University, and Visiting Professor of American Religion at Yale University Divinity School. He is
the author often books, including Protestantism in America and Thy Kingdom Come: How the
Religious Right Distorts the Faith and Threatens America

the Glory: A Journey into the Evangelical Subculture in America, now in its fourth edition, was
made into an award-winning, three-part documentary for PBS. |
