America’s Religious History: Audio Lectures: Faith, Politics, and the Shaping of a Nation (audio)
Overview
The Zondervan Biblical and Theological Lectures series provides a unique audio learning experience. Unlike a traditional audiobook’s direct narration of a book’s text, America’s Religious History: Audio Lectures includes high quality live-recordings of college-level lectures that cover the important points from each subject as well as relevant material from other sources. In the post-9/11 world, it is not difficult to see how important religion remains in America and around the globe. An older generation of scholars expected that America and the rest of the Western world was headed toward secularization and the end of religion. America is undoubtedly secular in many ways, and our constitutional order requires a clear distinction between faith communities and government. Yet from the colonial era to the present, American men and women have been, and have remained, a pervasively religious people. In America’s Religious History: Audio Lectures, leading historian Thomas S. Kidd traces the theological and ethnic diversity and enduring strength of American religion, with special attention to Christianity and evangelical faith. Interweaving religious history and key events from the larger narrative of American history, the audio lectures consider how faith commitments and categories have shaped the nation. America’s Religious History: Audio Lectures offers an up-to-date, narrative introduction to the religious background of American life. Even while parts of America are becoming more secular, the nation as a whole remains deeply religious. In America’s Religious History: Audio Lectueres, historian Thomas S. Kidd traces the roots and development of American religion from colonial times to the 21st century.
