A New Religious America : How a Christian Country Has Now Become the World's Most Religiously Diverse Nation

Diana L. Eck directs the pluralism project at Harvard and has done more than anyone to document the rapidly changing religious landscape in America. In fact, as Diana Eck explains, the religious migrations of the twentieth have changed the character of American culture profoundly, and these changes will become even more pronounced in the future.

From the reviews ...

"A stunning tour de force that may forever change the way Americans claim to be ’one nation, under God.’"
