Divining America: Religion and the National Culture

By

Wason, Marianne D. (TeacherServe®)

Divining America: Religion and the National Culture is designed to help teachers of American history bring their students to a greater understanding of the role religion has played in the development of the United States. It is based on the fact that American history and religion intersect importantly at various points-the Puritan migration to New England, for example, abolition, or the Civil Rights Movement. Divining America will illuminate these intersections, for to understand such events fully, students must acquire some appreciation of their religious dimensions. The site contains "Essays by leading scholars offering -content overviews, -discussion guidance, -bibliographies, -online resources, -primary sources". In addition there is a questions and answers section: teachers have the opportunity to send in questions related to the topic and have them answered by scholars in this field.
