A Religious History of the American People

This classic work, winner of the 1973 National Book Award in Philosophy and Religion and Christian Centuryâ€™s choice as the Religious Book of the Decade (1979), is now issued with a new chapter by noted religious historian David Hall, who carries the story of American religious history forward to the present day.
Praise for the earlier edition:
Â“An unusual and praiseworthy book. . . . It takes a modern, almost anthropological view of history, in which worship is a part of a web of culture along with play, love, dress, and language.â€Â—B.A. Weisberger, Washington Post Book World

Â“The most detailed, most polished of the works in its tradition.â€Â—Martin E. Marty, New York Times Book Review

Â“An intellectual delight that one does not so much read as savor.â€Â—America

Â“The definitive one-volume study by the leading authority.â€Â—Christianity Today

Â“No one writing or thinking hereafter about Americaâ€™s past will be able to ignore Ahlstromâ€™s magisterial account of the religious element.â€Â—American Historical Review
