The Emergence of the Post-Christian Nation

About This Book

Harold Bloom examines the unique landscape of American spirituality, arguing that the nation's faith has evolved into a national form of gnosticism focused on the solitary self. He analyzes the origins and doctrines of various American-born denominations, including Mormonism and Southern Baptism, to define the essence of the country's religious imagination.
