Christopher Grasso. Skepticism and American Faith: From the Revolution to the Civil War
In Skepticism and American Faith: From the Revolution to the Civil War, a learned and imaginative book, Christopher Grasso challenges the conventional wisdom about belief and unbelief in the United States in the early American republic.

Americans and the Islamic World in the Long Nineteenth Century
Sacred Interests surveys encounters between the United States and the Muslim world from the 1820s to the beginning of the twentieth century. It draws effectively on both secondary and primary sources to reconstruct the ways in which American foreign policymakers responded to key crises: the bids for freedom on the part of Greeks, Bulgarians, and Armenians in the Ottoman Empire; the persecution of Jews in Syria and Morocco; and the efforts to impo…

Southern Cross: The Beginnings of the Bible Belt
Revealing a surprising paradox at the heart of America's Belt, Christine Leigh Heyrman examines how the conservative religious traditions so strongly associated with the South evolved out of an evangelical Protestantism that began with very different social and political attitudes. Although the American Revolution swept away the institutional structures of the Anglican Church in the South, the itinerant evangelical preachers who subsequently floo…
