FORMAT Paperback CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description American Examples: New Conversations about Religion, Volume Three, is the third in a series of annual anthologies produced by the American Examples workshop hosted by the Department of Religious Studies at the University of Alabama. In the latest volume from this innovative academic project, ten topically and methodologically diverse scholars vividly reimagine the meaning and applications of American religious history. These ten chapters use case studies from America, broadly conceived, to ask trenchant theoretical questions that are of interest to scholars and students within and beyond the subfield of American religious history.

Altman is Associate Professor in the Department of Religious Studies at the University of Alabama. He researches and teach courses about the category "religion" in American history and culture. More specifically, he uses examples of religion in America to explore larger questions about how people and groups use "religion" to separate "us" from "them." His first book, Heathen, Hindoo, Hindu: American Representations of India, 1721-1893 (Oxford University Press, 2017) examined a variety of ways Americans used representations of religion in India to argue over what counted as American at home. He has written other articles and book chapters on Asian religions in America, religion in film, podcasting in religious studies, and American evangelicalism. Review American Examples seeks nothing less than to shake the founding assumptions of American religious history. What happens, these contributors ask, if we approach our archives not with the question of how they fit into a broader historical narrative but ask instead: what does this tell us about religion or America? What does the field look like if we foreground the religious studies focus of J. Z. Smith rather than the normative assumptions of narrative history? This volume offers a timely, provocative contribution to the field and will be sure to inspire debate!" - Anthony Petro, author of After the Wrath of God: AIDS, Sexuality, and American Religion Details ISBN0817361278 Author Christopher M.
