Bringing together a team of the world’s leading scholars in the field, this book provides a cutting edge interpretation about the place of religion in American history and its impact across a range of issues, from identity formation and politics, to race, gender, and class.  \u003cp\u003eWith a crisp and engaging style, \u003ci\u003eReligion in American History\u003c\/i\u003e is a comprehensive introduction to the field of American religious history, ranging from the earliest contact between Europeans and Native Americans, right through to the present day. It is accessibly structured in to four key eras covering: exploration and encounter (1492−1676); the Atlantic world (1676−1802); American empire (1803−1898); and global reach (1898−present). Blending together a chronological approach with thematic organization, the chapters reference each other in ways that make possible interconnections between historical periods and among the different areas of religious life.\u003c\/p\u003e  \"Porterfield and Corrigan have put together a stellar lineup of scholars and collectively produced a classroom-usable book that simultaneously defines and stretches the field of American religious history. Combining the best of historical and religious studies approaches, the themes of the chapters together with the chronological structure give readers fresh perspectives on the American religious past.\" \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e–Paul Harvey\u003c\/b\u003e, University of Colorado  \u003cp\u003e“Amanda Porterfield and John Corrigan have both opened new pathways to the study of American religious history.
