Parade of Faiths cover

American religious history IS the history of immigration, from the first settlers in the 'Promised Land' to today's arrivals from every corner of the globe. Immigration and American Relgion in American Life series (Jon Butler and Harry S. Stout, general editors), examines the immigrant experience and the changes that arrivlas in the New World felt in their lives - and in the meaning of religion.

This work serves as an important introductory volume, one that offers a glimpse into a particular and important part of the American religious past, while simultaneously giving students a prescriptive nudge toward a future of pluralism and tolerance. * Religion *
