"An excellent introduction to the major movements in modern American religion." — Matthew A. Sutton, H-Amstdy

"Hulsether deserves a great credit for writing a cultural studies-inspired textbook . . . that is clearly written with well-defined terms." — Stone-Campbell Journal

"Religion, Culture, and Politics in the Twentieth-Century United States is comprehensive but also offers compelling case studies that illustrate the peculiar dynamics of twentieth-century America, integrating economics, race relations, popular culture, and other critical social forces into the story. It will immediately stand out as a culturally informed, politically astute, alternative guide to religion in contemporary America." — Gary Laderman, professor of American religious history and cultures, Emory University
