Professor of American Studies and Social Science
Book Title
Religion in America: European and American Perspectives
Book Description
I chose this book for three reasons: (1) It was not held by Penn State's libraries; (2) It contained a provocative article by Philip Jenkins, one of the university's most prominent scholars; and (3) It also happened to include one of my essays--"Season's Greetings, Judeo-Christians! The Rhetoric and Politics of Religious Courtesy in American Culture"--which one reviewer described as "an amusing piece."
