Utilizing the case study format first developed at the Harvard Business School, American Christianity is a textbook in American religious history, covering the period from the early 1600s to present.
The editors have put together twenty "Cases" - briefly described historical situations that include enough background to let the reader/student enter into the principle character's motivations and evaluate the circumstances, usually with an eye toward making a crucial decision
about a dilemma the character faced.
Among the people and issues featured in the cases are Anne Huthinson; Jonathan Edwards; Lyman Beecher; Women's rights; civil rights for blacks; Abraham Lincoln; James Cardinal Gibbons; the emergence of Pentecostalism; Walter Rauschenbush; Reinhold Niebuhr; Billy Graham; Martin Luther King, Jr.; and John Courtney Murray.
The book also includes suggestion to teachers and students for making the best use of the case approach.
