Print version record.

By the new millennium scholars were suggesting that the phrase 'Judeo-Christian' be discarded in favor of the 'Judeo-Christian-Muslim tradition' or, more simply, the 'Abrahamic faiths'. One observer mockingly predicted that Americans seeking religious inclusivity would soon be referring to the 'Judeo-Christian-Buddhist-Hindu-Islamic-Agnostic-Atheist society'. This book brings together leading scholars from a variety of disciplines to explain the historical roots of these phenomena and assess their impact on modern American society.
