| Résumé : |
To understand America it is vital to understand the faith of the Americans. This book provides the tools for this understanding. It explains how Christianity came to be such a vital ingredient in the life of the nation. It tells the story of the richly varied ways the faith developed over two-and-a-half centuries. And it describes and analyses the bubbling ferment of American Christianitytoday:from born-again pop stars and presidents to highly radical theologians, from black gospel religion to Irish and Italian Catholicism.
The text has been compiled by five leading experts in American history. Detailed articles have been written by 65 specialist contributors, each of whom knows American Christianity from the inside. These contributions focus on the people and movements that give the history its colour. The book opens with an eighteen-page photofeature. Each main section starts with an illuminating time-chart, and maps and charts help understanding at many points. Quotations from people and from documents are a major feature. But the eye is drawn most often to the photographs, 350 in all, many in full colour. |
