Methodists to Congregationalists, Mormons to Jews, Church of God to the International Church of the Foursquare Gospel - the story of religion in the United States is in large part the story of its paradoxical religious organisations. Through both words and maps, this book brings coherence to the shifting picture of 200 years of American religious history. With 92 two0colour maps depicting this changing religious landscape, it should make a reference-book for anyone interested in the sociology or history of the religious experiment that is the United States.
