What’s Unique About American Christianity?

American society and culture have deeply shaped traditions of Christianity that have developed here since the 16th century. To make sense of American Christianity today, we’ll unpack three, profound, historical and sociological influences: the trans-Atlantic origins of American Christianity; the legal disestablishment of religion and subsequent “marketplace” of religion; and ways Americans have boosted the development and growth of the global church in the 20th century. The history propelling these influences, as well as the tensions embedded within them, have made American Christianity distinct. Join Upper House’s Dan Hummel to explore this topic.
