{"product_id":"0226284360","title":"Dissent in American Religion","description":"\n\u003cp\u003eDissent in American Religion, originally published in 1973, was the first book to present religious dissent in the United States as a pervasive but hidden and often-ignored stream in American life. The first volume in the Chicago History of American Religion series, it reviewed the history of our nationâs longest dissenting traditionâa tradition older and richer in the realm of religion than in any other facet of national life. Indeed, Edwin Scott Gaustad argued that religious dissent was essential to the character of the American religious experience and stood in profound disagreement with societyâs orthodox values and beliefs.\u003cbr\u003eThis new edition, which reinaugurates the Chicago History of American Religion series under the new editorship of John Corrigan, features new commentary by Gaustad and Corrigan on the past thirty years of American religious history and the importance of understanding dissent in American religion today.\u003cbr\u003eâThis is an important and erudite work which shows the originality and scope which scholarship can bring to human experience.â âLos Angeles Times\u003cbr\u003eâWe shall understand the religious past and present better for reading Gaustadâs brief, well-written, helpful book.â âCommonweal\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCategories:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReference\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEncyclopedias \u0026amp; Subject Guides\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003eReligion\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n","brand":"The University of Chicago Press","offers":[{"title":"Used - Acceptable","offer_id":45262329381054,"sku":"0226284360-5","price":7.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0640\/9689\/5166\/files\/01RmK_J4pJL._SL500_52ea3599-ff7d-49cd-87a0-fbcdb68a0ed3.jpg?v=1754092429","url":"https:\/\/shop.sustainablebooks.com\/products\/0226284360","provider":"Sustainable Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
