"Gods in America boasts a stunning list of notable contributors...
[this collection] is not only an exceptional survey of the topic
and a thorough introduction to many of its related themes, but is
also a useful collection for thinking about fruitful questions for
the future." --Religion in American History
"There is no better point of entry to the study of American
religious diversity that this carefully constructed volume of
essays by leading scholars of the various faith traditions now
visible in the United States. The authors not only present the most
important historical facts, but reflect discerningly on the
theoretical issues of pluralism and authenticity." -- David A.
Hollinger, Preston Hotchkis Professor, University of California,
Berkeley
