The Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Religion Now Available for Subscription
Lauren Turek
The Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Religion, a massive compendium of peer-reviewed essays on a range of topics in religion and religious history, is now available for subscription from Oxford.
The "Religion in America" heading features essays on a range of key themes, including race, gender, class, foreign relations, politics, culture, and art.
A number of RiAH bloggers contributed essays to this project, which the editors intend to serve as an ever-evolving online resource.
Some of the contributions from RiAH folks that have already been published include:
"Bibles and Tracts in Print Culture in America," by Lincoln Mullen
"Race, Class, Religion, and American Citizenship," by Janine Giordano Drake
"Gender, Marriage, and Sexual Purity in American Religious History," by Seth Dowland
"Race, the Law, and Religion in America," by Michael Graziano
"Civil Rights Movements and Religion in America," Paul Harvey
"Race, Culture, and Religion in the American South," by Paul Harvey
"Alternative Religious Movements and Race in America," Emily Suzanne Clark
Forthcoming essays from RiAH contributors include:
"U.S. Foreign Relations and American Religious Liberalism," by Cara Lea Burnidge
"Race and Protestantism in America," by Lauren Frances Turek
"Culture, Entertainment, and Religion in America," by Randall J. Stephens
Plus there are dozens of articles on religion in American history from other well-known scholars such as Matthew Avery Sutton, Sylvester Johnson, Kathryn Gin Lum, John Corrigan (one of the editors), and Dianne Kirby.
This is an exciting resource that will be beneficial for graduate students studying for their comprehensive exams, for teaching, and for scholars eager to explore new areas within the field of religion and religious history.

I just wanted to highlight Anthony Petro's piece, "Race, Gender, Sexuality, and Religion in North America," as my favorite of the bunch. It's extremely helpful as a resource but also creatively organized and skillfully written.
