Is the United States a Christian nation?

When Europeans first explored and colonized North America, they brought generations of religious conflict and a variety of Christianities with them. The Christian faith has flowered in the United States but has become extremely complex.

American Christianity Today gives readers a panoramic view of America's Christians. It makes an excellent text for university courses. In this book, historian Dyron Daughrity clearly and carefully explores a rich array of topics, including:

- Christianity's interaction with politics;
-Evangelicalism (and its complexities);
- Small, rural churches, as well as inner-city ones;
- Popular American pilgrimage sites;
- Christian film and music;
- Women leaders;
- Megachurches;
- Pressing issues of today, including race, civil rights, immigration, abortion, and climate change;
- Roman Catholicism: America's largest denomination;
- Eastern Orthodoxy;
- Mormonism, Jehovah's Witnesses, and Seventh-Day Adventists;
- Youth programs;
- Christian universities;
- The Black church tradition, and
>As a special feature, this book includes extensive photography that illustrates and supports Daughrity's well-researched chapters, helping readers to reflect on the depth and breadth of American Christianity today.
