RELIGION BY REGION BOOK SERIES
Series Editors: Mark Silk and Andrew
Walsh
Religion matters in the United States. But so do regional differences. Understanding the place of religion in each region is critical to recognizing where these regions are headed and why. The Religion by Region Series, a project of the Leonard E. Greenberg Center for the Study of Religion in Public Life at Trinity College in Hartford, represents the first comprehensive effort to show how religion shapes, and is being shaped by, regional culture in America. Edited volumes on each of the eight regions of the country will demonstrate that region’s unique religious culture. A ninth volume will sum up the results in order to draw larger conclusions about the way religion and region combine to affect civic culture and public policy in the United States as a whole. Scholars, students, journalists, and clergy who want to understand the role of region in American religion and the role of religion in American public life will do well to consult the Religion by Region Series.
