Tri-Faith America: How Catholics and Jews Held Postwar America to Its Protestant Promise
Schultz, Kevin M. (Assistant Professor of History and Catholic Studies, Assistant Professor of History and Catholic Studies, University of Illinois at Chicago)
In Tri-Faith America, Kevin Schultz explains how the United States left behind the idea that it was "a Protestant nation" and embraced the notion that Protestants, Catholics, and Jews were "Americans all." Schultz describes how the tri-faith idea surfaced after World War I and how, by the end of World War II, the idea was becoming widely accepted. During the Cold War, the public religiosity spurred by the fight against godless communism led to widespreadembrace of the tri-faith idea.
