"The American Religion" is informed and informative reading.

In "The American Religion", Harold Bloom (Sterling Professor of the Humanities at Yale University) examines a number of American-based faiths including Pentecostalism, Mormonism, Seventh-day Adventism, Christian Science, Jehovah's Witnesses, Southern Baptism, Christian Fundamentalism, and African American spirituality. Tracing the distinctive features of American religion, Professor Bloom provides insight into the role religion plays in the broader American culture, and in each American's concept of his or her relationship to God. Professor's Blooms persuasively articulated conclusion is that American spiritual believes provide an illuminated portrait of the American national character. Strongly recommended for both academic and community library Religion & Spirituality reference collections and supplemental reading lists, "The American Religion" is informed and informative reading.
