The Routledge Historical Atlas of Religion in America » (New Edition)

Using full color maps and illustrations, The Routledge Historical Atlas of American Religion examines the changing peoples and creeds that have greatly affected the course of American life. Starting with the religions of Native Americans and moving from the Puritanism of the early English settlers to the Catholicism of immigrants of the 19th and 20th centuries, and the Southern Baptism of African Americans during Reconstruction to the more contemporary phenomena of Scientology and the Unification Church, this atlas presents the expansive history and geography of religion in America in vibrant, visual detail.
