Reviews"The 7th edition of Julia Corbett-Hemeyer's Religion in Americais not only a refinement of an important text, but also is a welcome addition to ongoing scholarship on American religion today. New sections on the Millennials and the rise of the "spiritual but not religious" make this volume ideal for the twenty-first century classroom, where students will see their own religious experience illuminated in the context of the longer, complicated history of religion in the United States....Religion in Americais, now more than ever, relevant for everyone from first-year students to experienced scholars."
