The Religious History of America: The Heart of the American Story from Colonial Times to Today by Leigh Eric Schmidt, Edwin S. Gaustad

gbdill's review against another edition

4.0

Very good book that gives a general overview of America's religious history. Beginning from the first European explorers and settlers upon the New World and ending with the great mass of plurality of religious faith and spirituality that makes America distinct from the rest of the world. Shows both the good and bad religion has played on the American landscape. Has a lot of great historical pictures and illustrations as well. This book comes highly recommended for both the casual reader and/or the academic student.
