Annotation:

A 2005 course by Susan Ridgely at the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh “explores the colorful, contested history of religion in American culture. While surveying the main contours of religion in the United States from the colonial era to the present, the course concentrates on a series of historical court cases that reveal tensions between a quest for a (Protestant) American consensus and an abiding religious and cultural pluralism.”
