4.9/5 (27836 ratings)

Description:On issues from A to Z, abortion to Zionism, it is impossible to understand the contours of American political culture without paying attention to religion. Mark Hulsether provides a concise introduction to the key themes, actors, and institutions of religion as they relate to North American culture and society in the twentieth century, using an approach informed by the fields of U.S. religious history and American Studies. His dual goal is to introduce religions on their own terms and to chart their dynamic relations with broader cultural trends and socio-political forces, as understood in U.S. history and the wider interdisciplinary study of North America. Hulsether offers a concise synthetic statement, accessible for readers who are not specialists in U.S. religion. More than other leading books that might serve as introductions to this subject, Hulsether stresses issues of cultural pluralism, conflict, and contestation - especially on lines of race, ethnicity, and gender. He offers a valuable bridge between specialized scholarship in U.S. religion and a wider field of interdisciplinary research on U.S. history and culture and society that often underplays the continuing importan; Mainline Protestantism, Catholicism, white evangelicalism, the black church and Judaism are amongst the many religious groups treated. Based on the timeline of American history, events are recontextualised and rediscovered, examined from new, religious angles. Readers will develop an understanding of the importance of American religion in the twentieth century.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
