This course is a historical survey of the dynamic relationship between religion and politics during the 1920s. The 1920s was a tipping point for a great deal of the fundamental issues that shaped the twentieth century in the U.S. This course seeks to investigate how religious activism, evangelism, discourse, practice, and reinvention contributed to and was shaped by such change.
