"This three-volume set is an excellent treatment of religion in America in various social, cultural, ethnic and historical settings. ... Religion and American Cultures ... is highly recommended for high school libraries, public libraries, and personal libraries as well as for anyone seeking to understand the social and cultural contexts in which the various forms of American religious practice formed and have come to be practiced."
- The Midwest Book Review

"In an era when spirituality is not defined by church attendance, this resource explores the various ways Americans approach religion. Its first volume features chapters on ethnic groups and sectarian beliefs, the second comprises essay entries on distinct practices, and the third collects primary documents. Cotton Mather, Shirley MacLaine, and Elijah Muhammad are represented, along with such pivotal documents as The Maryland Toleration Act and the American Indian Religious Freedom Act."
