HIST 522H - Southern Religious History (3).
Description: This course explores the social, cultural, and political impact that religion has had on the American South from the colonial era through the recent past. It examines the rise and ultimate predominance of evangelical Christianity and the manner in which the region evolved from the "Sinful South" to the Bible Belt. The South has had a vital and diverse religious culture that included both religious proslavery and a slave religion that rejected divine sanction of slavery, that nurtured such movements as Pentecostalism and Fundamentalism, and that offered sustenance to both the Civil Rights Movement and the Religious Right.
