The Oxford Encyclopedia of Religion in America brings together state-of-the-art articles on key topics in the study of religion in America. The encyclopedia is organized around five key areas developed by leading scholars in the field: ethnicity; empire; space; religion in public life; and religious ideas. The Oxford Encyclopedia of Religion in America introduces readers to the multifaceted and interdisciplinary ways of studying religion in America. All of the articles appear online as part of the Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Religion.
