About this product

Product Information

"Unto a Good Land offers a distinctive narrative history of the American people -- from the first contacts between Europeans and North America's native inhabitants, through the creation of a modern nation, to the standing of the United States as a world power. Written by a team of distinguished historians led by David Edwin Harrell, Jr. and Edwin S. Gaustad, this textbook shows how grasping the uniqueness of the bAmerican experimentb depends on understanding the role of religion as well as social, cultural, political, and economic factors in shaping U.S. history.A common shortcoming of most United States history textbooks is that while, in recent decades, they have expanded their coverage of social and cultural history, they still tend to shortchange the role of religious ideas, practices, and movements in the American past. "Unto a Good Land addresses this shortcoming in a balanced way. The authors recognize that religion is only one of many factors that have influenced our past -- one, however, that has often been neglected in textbook accounts. This volume gives religion its appropriate place in the story."Unprecedented coverage of the forces that have shaped the history of the United States While none of America's rich history is left out, this volume is the first U.S. history textbook to give serious attention to the religious dimension of American life. This textbook is not a religious history; instead, it offers an account of American history that includes religious ideas, practices, and movements whenever they played a shaping role."Comprehensive and current This volume traces the American story from the earliest encounters between the first North Americaninhabitants and Europeans through the 2004 presidential election. Complete and balanced treatment is also given to issues of gender, race, and ethnicity, as well as cultural, political, and economic forces."A clear and compelling narrative The authors are more than expert historians; they are also talented writers who recognize history to be the retelling of human life. United by a seamless narrative structure, these chapters restore the bstoryb to history."Multiple formats specially designed for flexible classroom use "Unto a Good Land is available as a single hardcover edition or as two paperback volumes, offering maximum flexibility when adapting curriculum for one- and two-semester courses in U.S. history. The two paperback volumes can be used for U.S. history survey courses divided at 1865 or 1900 -- or at any date in between."Informative special features to complement the text In addition to the book's exceptional narrative, an array of special features enhances the instructional value of the text and points students to resources for further study."Includes assistance for teaching and test preparation The instructor's manual for "Unto a Good Land provides helpful suggestions for lesson plans and assignments, and the test bank provides multiple-choice and essay questions for use as study aids, quizzes, or tests."Suitable for instruction at both secular and religious colleges and universities Drawing on their experience in both secular and religious schools, the authors have ensured that this textbook is suitable for U.S. history classes in a wide variety of settings.

Reviews
Mark Noll Wheaton College " Unto a Good Land offers a sound general history of the American people and an unusually perceptive understanding of how religious matters have been important in that history. This combination makes this text distinctively useful. It is good reading that provides a solid foundation for advanced exploration in the very wide domains of American historical study." Jon Butler Yale University " Unto a Good Land beautifully integrates the character of American religion, values, and idealistic concerns into an excellent narrative history without cant or special pleading and with real judiciousness and balance -- a difficult task accomplished with sensitivity and vigor." Margaret Armbrester University of Alabama at Birmingham "Beautifully written and comprehensive in its coverage of American political, intellectual, and cultural themes, Unto a Good Land is likely to find wide use in state colleges and universities throughout the country. The authors weave into the narrative the ever-present sense of 'special' mission that has shaped, for better and for worse, the nation's history. This work incorporates the latest scholarship celebrating American diversity in a balanced treatment that will make American history recognizable and persuasive to college students. They will, I believe, find it hard to put down." W. Roger Biles East Carolina University "The authors do a nice job of seamlessly weaving religious topics into the discussion rather than simply adding sidebars that draw attention to the 'separateness' of religious belief. This approach will remind students that religion is an important part of people's lives and therefore an appropriate topic for analysis." John Milton Cooper, Jr. University of Wisconsin-Madison "The writing is good and clear; the chapters and topics within them are easy to follow. The scholarship on which the chapters are based is up to date. I also think the approach is well balanced. I found the integration of religious topics to be well done, and not only as a 'hook' to distinguish this text from others in the field." Link Hullar Kingwood College, North Harris Montgomery Community College District, Texas "I am delighted to be using Unto a Good Land with my students. This text tells the story of the American people with respect and consideration for all peoples. It is attractive, engaging, and readable. I have been teaching U.S. History for over thirty years and without a doubt this is the best survey text I have ever used."
