Reviews and Awards
"...[an] excellent reference...this work offers a general reader a splendid view of American religion...this 3rd edition is significantly different enough from the earlier ones to warrant its addition to the reference collections of high school and college libraries."
American Reference Books Annual
"Entries are clearly and concisely written and nonpartisan in tone...a fine resource covering issues germane not just to churches and the devout but to U.S. culture and society at large."
Booklist"...highly recommended for general as well as academic collections."
Library Journal"The writing is lively and easy to understand...This work will add a unique dimension to American history courses, particularly on the AP level, and is sufficiently updated to warrant purchase even in libraries that own the previous edition."
