From the Pentecostal revival sparked by Agnes Ozman in Kansas, 1901, to the flare and fade of the millennium in 1999, this text provides an overview of the evolution of religion in the United States in the twentieth century. For grades 9 and up. In this book, a part of the RELIGION IN AMERICAN LIFE series (John Butler and Harry S. Stout, general editors), the author discusses the massive cultural changes in 20th-century America and the effects such forces as industrialization, modernization, and secularization had on established religions as well as new ones being strengthened by influxes of immigrants. Groups such as Protestants, Hindus, Jews, New Age believers, Mormons, Buddhists, Roman Catholics, and many more are discussed.
