A New Religious America: How a Christian Country Has Become the World's Most Religiously Diverse Nation Wydawca: HarperOne Opis produktu A New Religious America by Diana L. Eck opens with a striking truth: America is no longer a single-faith nation. This compelling history and religion book traces how the United States moved from a predominantly Christian identity to becoming one of the world’s most religiously diverse societies. Eck combines scholarship and vivid reporting to explain the rise of new Muslim communities, the proliferation of Buddhist temples in Los Angeles, and other markers of religious change. Through narrative history and insightful analysis, the book explores immigration, law, civic life, and interfaith dynamics without spoiling its key revelations. Readers will find clear accounts of how public institutions — from the military to city neighborhoods — adapted to new faiths, and why those shifts matter for politics, education, and social cohesion. This nonfiction work belongs in courses on American religion, immigration history, and contemporary social studies, and it’s accessible to general readers curious about religious pluralism. Who should read this book? Students and teachers of American history, clergy and faith leaders, policymakers, and anyone interested in religion & spirituality will gain perspective. If you search for long-tail topics like "religious diversity in the United States" or "history of religion in America," this English book offers authoritative answers. Read A New Religious America to understand the religious landscape shaping U.S. public life today — essential reading for informed citizens and curious minds alike.
