For undergraduate courses in Religion in America.

Concise, yet thorough, this text introduces the vast variety of religious groups and activities both ecclesiastical and popular that make up the American religious picture today. It presents the academic study of religion within the context of the humanities, discussing religion in a spirit of mutual exploration and learning, rather than in terms of what is "right" and "wrong." Coverage emphasizes the current state of today's religions, paying particular attention to the religious diversity found in the United States.
