Unto a Good Land offers a distinctive narrative history of the
American people — from the first contacts between Europeans and North America's
native inhabitants, through the creation of a modern nation, to the standing of
the United States as a world power. Written by a team of distinguished
historians led by David Edwin Harrell, Jr. and
Edwin S. Gaustad, this textbook shows how grasping the uniqueness of the “American experiment” depends on understanding the role of religion as well as
social, cultural, political, and economic factors in shaping U.S. history.
A common shortcoming of most United States history textbooks is that while, in
recent decades, they have expanded their coverage of social and cultural
history, they still tend to shortchange the role of religious ideas, practices,
and movements in the American past. Unto a Good Land addresses this
shortcoming in a balanced way. The authors recognize that religion is only one
of many factors that have influenced our past — one, however, that has often
been neglected in textbook accounts. This volume gives religion its appropriate
place in the story.
