HIST 319A American Religious History
This course will examine religion in American life from the arrival of Europeans on the North American continent to the present. We will explore the impact religion has had on American society, culture, and politics, and how various faith traditions have been shaped, in turn, by their encounter with America. Courses themes will include the development of religious pluralism, the relationship between religion in the U.S. and the larger world, the persistence of religion in American culture, and American religious identity.
