RS 328 - Christianity in US History

This course covers the role of Christianity in United States history from the nation’s creation until today. The class will look at how mainline Christian denominations have shaped U.S. history and been in turn shaped by the American experience. Within this broad historical sweep of linking the past to the present important issues like the separation between church and state, and how the nation has gone from Protestant establishment to secularism as well as how law and politics have come to impact religion, will be examined. This course is the same as Hist 328; credit will be given for only one of these courses.
