The Routledge Historical Atlas of Religion in America

Carroll (California State Univ., Stanislaus, and author of Spiritualism in Antebellum America, CH, Mar'98) offers another excellent volume in the "Routledge Atlases of American History" series. His small but extremely important publication provides a succinct, current atlas with the most up-to-date commentary. It is more inclusive than Peter Halverson and William Newman's The Atlas of Religious Change in America 1952-1990 (CH, Nov'94) and is smaller but differs in emphasis from Edwin Gaustad et al.'s New Historical Atlas of Religion in America (CH, Oct'01). Briefly covering the time period 30,000 BCE to 1997, in six chronologically and topically defined periods, the book charts the changes in American immigration and how they affected religious affiliation and the growth of diverse faiths. Carroll charts their rise from indigenous American religions to religions of the modern age, from American metaphysical movements to urban African American religions, from Bahi'i to Hinduism and Sikhism. Baptists, Lutherans, Roman Catholics, Jews, Restorationists, Mormons, Holiness and Pentecostals, all appear. Carroll emphasizes west to east and south to north migrations as well as east to west. Nonwhite and non-Protestant people are presented as are Euro-Americans. The atlas intends to reflect the diversity of religions and the state of research. It includes a chronology and an excellent list of further readings. Highly recommended for every library. D. D. Siles formerly, Elmhurst College
