How did religion and the quest for religious liberty shape the history of the United States? This 2010 PBS documentary series investigates the evolving relationship between religious ideologies and movements within American culture, the U.S. government, and the market place. Organized chronologically into a series of six 60-minute episodes, God in America highlights the impact of Puritans in colonial America, the role of religion during the American Civil War, the faith of Progressive Era reformers, and the importance of the black church throughout U.S. history - to name just a few of the topics explored in this series. On this website, visitors can watch the complete documentary and view a number of accompanying resources. These resources include an interactive timeline, which juxtaposes major religious reform events alongside one another; a series of interviews with scholars of religion, theology, and history; and links to outside resources of interest.
