Reviews

Eleven long bibliographic essays, each followed by an extensive bibliography that includes monographs, journal articles, and book-length bibliographies, most published since 1960. Some of the bibliographies are divided into primary and secondary sources; others are divided topically. Chapter topics relate to time periods and/or geographical areas. The emphasis falls on cultural interpretations of church-state questions, so many works of general interest to students of American history are cited. The authors are young scholars who are familiar with their topics or periods. ... This volume reaches from the colonial period to 1870; the next 100 years will be covered by a sequel planned for publication in 1987 or 1988. This guide should be useful to all academic libraries that support upper-level courses in American history or religious history.-Choice
