Beschreibung
Is the United States a Christian nation?When Europeans first explored and colonized North America, they brought generations of religious conflict and a variety of Christianities with them. The Christian faith has flowered in the United States but has become extremely complex. American Christianity Today gives readers a panoramic view of America's Christians. It makes an excellent text for university courses. In this book, historian Dyron Daughrity clearly and carefully explores a rich array of topics, including: Christianity's interaction with politics; Evangelicalism (and its complexities); Small, rural churches, as well as inner-city ones; Popular American pilgrimage sites; Christian film and music; Women leaders; Megachurches; Pressing issues of today, including race, civil rights, immigration, abortion, and climate change;Roman Catholicism: America's largest denomination; Eastern Orthodoxy;Mormonism, Jehovah's Witnesses, and Seventh-Day Adventists; Youth programs; Christian universities; The Black church tradition, andThe rise of the nones"e; (those claiming no religion). As a special feature, this book includes extensive photography that illustrates and supports Daughrity's well-researched chapters, helping readers to reflect on the depth and breadth of American Christianity today.
