Summary: From the Founding Fathers through the present, Christianity has exercised powerful influence in America-from its role in shaping politics and social institutions to its hand in art and culture. The Encyclopedia of Christianity in the United States outlines the myriad roles Christianity has played and continues to play. This masterful multi-volume reference includes biographies of major figures in the Christian church in the United States, documents and Supreme Court decisions, and information on theology and theologians, denominations, faith-based organizations, immigration, art-from decorative arts and film to music and literature-evangelism and crusades, women's issues, racial issues, civil religion, and more. |
