This collection marks a turning point in the study of the history of American religions. In challenging the dominant paradigm; Thomas A. Tweed and his coauthors propose nothing less than a reshaping of the way that American religious history is understood; studied; and taught.The range of these essays is extraordinary. They analyze sexual pleasure; colonization; gender; and interreligious exchange. The narrators position themselves in a number of geographical sites; including the Canadian border; the American West; and the Deep South. And they discuss a wide range of groups; from Pueblo Indians and Russian Orthodox to Japanese Buddhists and Southern Baptists.
