No longer only a Protestant, Christian, or even Judeo-Christian nation, the United States is increasingly home to religious traditions from Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Latin America. Covering groups from across the United States and a range of religious traditions, Immigrant Faiths provides an overview to this expanding subfield.--Jacket.
The United States is undergoing a profound religious transformation due to recent immigration. As the nation's religious landscape diversifies beyond its traditional Protestant, Christian, and Judeo-Christian foundations, new traditions from Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Latin America are becoming increasingly prominent. This book offers a comprehensive examination of this expanding field, exploring various religious groups and their presence across the United States.
This book is regarded as a foundational text for understanding the impact of contemporary immigration on American religious pluralism. It is noted for its broad scope, covering a wide array of immigrant religious traditions and their geographical distribution within the U.S. The work provides essential context for scholars and general readers interested in the evolving religious demography of the nation. Its comprehensive approach makes it a valuable resource for grasping the complexities of religious change in America.
