Religion in American Life: A Short History
The definition of religion in this book is a bit too simplistic for my taste, but since the book is meant as a survey for undergrads or people totally new to the study of American religions, it gets the job done. This is a very lyrical read, compared to the rather technical prose of John Corrigan and Winthrop Hudson's "Religion in America." In another difference from Corrigan, the authors here do a better job taking a wide view of American history, rather than reverting to the tired old assertion that Protestantism is the core of American religious history. The authors also celebrate American pluralism: The country isn't unique because of some divine plan, but rather because people who believe in many (and no) divinities have managed to live together for this long.
