This Fall at UTC I am teaching "Religion in American Life." I decided to use the aptly titled, Religion in American Life by Butler, Wacker, and Balmer as the course textbook. One of the requirements for this course is to read and write a review of one of the books below. I obviously have a bias (and more knowledge) toward Protestantism and so if there are any books that I should add to this list (preferably university press texts)--in any of the categories listed below--please let me know.

You might consider including Leslie Tentler's _Catholics and Contraception: An American History_ (Cornell, 2009) to your "Catholicism" section. The book is well-crafted and may be of interest to some your students.
Best of luck this semester!
That sounds like an interesting and timely book. I will be sure and add it to the list. Thanks for the suggestion.
