" Martin Marty, renowned historian and writer on religion, explores in this fascinating and unparalleled account the people and events that carved the spiritual landscape of America.
In an enlightening narrative that follows the American people from their roots in Europe, Asia, and Africa right up to the present, Marty unfolds the integral role religion has played in shaping the philosophy, values, and laws Americans adhere to today.
In religious terms, America was, and in every way continues to be, "a new world."
As Marty points out, "never before in history have so many different religious groups had to coexist.
Seldom have even several done so with so little bloodshed, even as the believers were able to hold to their faiths with integrity."

To see how this happened, Marty takes the reader on a chronological pilgrimage through history that features vivid and candid accounts of the lives of the nation's religious leaders.
Beginning with native beliefs, the Pilgrims, Jonathan Edwards, the Calvinists, Lutheranism, the Catholicism of the early French and Spanish explorers, the conquerors and subsequent rise of missionaries, civil religions advocated by Franklin and Jefferson, the Quakers and the role of abolitionists during the Civil War, Marty moves on into the late nineteenth and then the early twentieth century, outlining the influence exerted by the early Catholic and Jewish immigrants, by Mary Baker Eddy and the Christian Scientists, and by the smaller sects such as the Mormons and Seven-Day Adventists.
Marty then proceeds to examine the lives and significance of contemporary spiritual leaders such as Billy Graham, Father Coughlin, Cardinal Spellman, Thomas Merton, and Martin Luther King, Jr., as well as the impact of Eastern cults, the Moral Majority, and the rise of television evangelists.

Although it focuses on the leaders of America's spiritual pilgrims, Marty's narrative reveals even more about the ideals of the people they have guided. Written with impeccable scholarship and an engrossing reading style, Pilgrims in Their Own Land explains with insight how Americans came to be religious and what that has meant to the national character.
