Title: “Winners and Losers in American Religious Traditions: A Critical Analysis of the Major Thesis in the Book”

A 3 page paper on the major thesis of the book. Who are the specific ‘winners’ and specific ‘losers’ and why? How is this book helpful in our understanding of American Religious Traditions? It is very important that you purchase and use the text for the first paper. It is essential to understanding the entire course. You do not have to read the book word for word. That is difficult in any academic setting. Read for the thesis and examples and read so that you can write your paper on what the specific assignment calls for. I, also, need to see page numbers from the text in your paper. Example: (p.12) I do not need author names, year of publication and title–just the page #. Short, pithy quotes from the text creatively show page numbers. the deadline is 11:00pm MST
