| Résumé : |
Bien sûr ! Voici le résumé avec l'ajout demandé : Cette œuvre est une collection complète de documents essentiels concernant le christianisme américain, remontant à la période coloniale. Plus qu'une simple compilation de sources primaires, elle offre une analyse historique des grands mouvements religieux. Les documents sont soigneusement organisés en périodes et tendances culturelles dominantes, chacune précédée de longs essais explicatifs. Chaque document est accompagné d'une introduction analytique et de références pour des études approfondies. La sélection privilégie des textes longs et inclusifs, traitant non seulement des activités des institutions religieuses, mais aussi des tendances sociales et théologiques de base. Sans équivalent pour son ampleur et sa valeur interprétative, cet ouvrage est un apport important, pertinent non seulement pour les spécialistes de la religion, mais aussi pour les chercheurs en histoire, philosophie, littérature, science politique, et civilisation américaine.
