Description:
Religion in America, 7th Edition provides a comprehensive yet concise introduction to the changing religious landscape of the United States. Extensively revised and updated to reflect current events and trends, this new edition continues to engage students in reflection about religious diversity. Julia Corbett-Hemeyer presents the study of religion as a tool for developing appreciation of communities of faith other than one's own and for understanding the dynamics at work in religion in the United States today.
Review Quotes:
"The 7th edition of Julia Corbett-Hemeyer's Religion in America is not only a refinement of an important text, but also is a welcome addition to ongoing scholarship on American religion today. New sections on the Millennials and the rise of the "spiritual but not religious" make this volume ideal for the twenty-first century classroom, where students will see their own religious experience illuminated in the context of the longer, complicated history of religion in the United States....Religion in America is, now more than ever, relevant for everyone from first-year students to experienced scholars."
