I have adjusted this review up to 3 stars however; as I have actually found it increasingly useful in the past few months. Still; the first half of this book can be painfully droll...though I love history; no one cares how far Evangelist X rode his horse back from Boston. The 2nd half however; becomes rather pertinent as it begins to examine racism; the controversy surrounding evolution; religious pluralism; the decline of mainline-protestantism; and other such contemporary topics of interest. Not bad; but don't try to read this puppy through...it's really more a reference book; you should regard and use it as such.5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Filled with perspectives and cross-perspectivesBy Midwest Book ReviewCritical Issues In American Religious History: A Reader is a chronologically arranged compendium of documents and essays grouped into those relevant to fifteen key issues. Examples of these key issues include "How Religious was the American Revolution?"; "How did the factory and the city influence American religion?"; and "How did religion in America contribute to the rise of the civil rights movement?" A scholarly; analytical book filled with perspectives and cross-perspectives; Critical Issues In American Religious History is very highly recommended for anyone with a serious interest in learning more about the history of religion in the America experience.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Great Book!By Theresa G. LineberryThis book is being used as a text for my class in Church History. It is a compilation of essays and select historical documents from US history. It is easily understood and very readable.
