THE PROTESTANT VOICE IN AMERICAN PLURALISM MARTIN E. MARTY 2004

Dust jacket, blue cloth-bound hardcover and endpapers in excellent condition. Owned by a former psychiatrist, he used a red pen to underline many pages. His name also is at front of book. Pages are still easily readable but it takes the condition of the book down to Good.

For 350 years, Protestantism was the dominant religion in America—and its influence spilled over into the wider culture. Religious historian Martin E. Marty looks at the factors behind both the long period of Protestant ascendancy in America and the comparatively recent diffusion and diminution of its authority. Marty ranges across time, covering such things as the establishment of the Jamestown settlement in 1607, the 1955 publication of Will Herberg's landmark book Protestant-Catholic-Jew, and the current period of American ethnic and religious pluralism.
