- catalog abstract ""In this first historical overview of religion in the modern American West, Ferenc Szasz shows the important role that organized religion played in the shaping of the region from the late-nineteenth to late-twentieth century. He traces the major faiths over that time span, analyzes the distinctive responses of western religious institutions to national events, and shows how western cities became homes to a variety of organized faiths that cast only faint shadows back east." "Examining the careers of key figures in western religion, from Rabbi William Friedman to the Reverend Robert H. Schuller, Szasz balances specific and general trends to weave the story of religion into a wider social and cultural context. Religion in the Modern American West calls attention to an often overlooked facet of regional history and broadens our understanding of the American experience."--Jacket.".
