Volume IV (bound as two volumes) provides a critical and descriptive bibliography of religion in American life that is unequalled in any other source. Arranged topically, so that books and articles on a single subject are discussed in relation to each other, and carefully cross-referenced and indexed, it will be an indispensable tool for anyone exploring further into American religion or related subjects. Originally published in 1961. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

Religion is in the forefront of current discussions about such areas as teacher preparation, parental duties, the rights of church-affiliated schools, values education, full personal growth, the proliferation of crime, moral aberrations, the loss of personal identity, and society's concerns. But what is religion? And what is the testimony to its importance from such fields as philosophy, history, anthropology, sociology, and psychology? Can today's renewed interest in ethics be satisfied without reference to religion? If systematic exposure to religion is necessary for wholeness, can it be fulfilled by learning about religion, or must it be by way of witness and commitment? May current graduates of schools without religion systematically in their curriculum be said to be educated, or must they be said to be only schooled? How does one satisfactorily include religion in government schools? In denominational schools?
