Religion in America and the rise of religious liberty
A critical survey of four books on American religion. Thompson argues Providence guides history but methods lack rigor. Cobb’s Rise of Religious Liberty credits Williams and later thinkers in shaping church-state separation. Abbott’s Religious Life in America reports on church relations with workers. Cross’s Anglican Episcopate studies colonial church structure and its delayed American episcopate, with caution on its broader impact.
