Here’s a collection of reviews on the subject of PBS’s recent six part special on the topic of God in America. Having just finished viewing the series five minutes ago, my initial impression is that episode 3 on the Civil War and episode 5 on the Cold War seemed to the strongest. The dedication of two out of six episodes to the last sixty years of US history seems a bit disproportional. As with most documentary style programming, it provides a helpful starting point for discussion, gives voice to articulate experts, but is constrained to gloss over important and formative details in the interest of a cohesive narrative.

• “Renegades’ religion: God in America gives more weight to the fringes of faith-based culture than to its roots”
• “’God in America’ is a compelling series but omits many key events, people”
• “God in America, PBS: US TV review”
• “PBS’s calm and evenhanded ‘God in America’”
• “REVIEW: PBS spotlights ‘God in America’”
• “Those Perpetual Bedfellows, Religion and Politics”
