"The book is a good starting point on its subject, full as it is
of suggested further readings on a number of contemporary flash
points of opinion" Evangelicals Now
"This book...demonstrates yet again the impeccability of Noll's
scholarship. His careful mastery of the historian's craft, his
massive bibliographical knowledge, his clarity of style and
civility of approach - all these serve to answer his own complaints
about the "scandal of the evangelical mind". Noll has an
evangelical mind that, far from being small and closed, is both
capacious and generous." First Things
"Noll presents solid data that sometimes shatters evangelicals'
favourite self-references as well as stereotypes of outsiders.
American Evangelical Christianity clearly, capably, and
fairly describes one of the world's leading contemporary religious
movements as of the beginning of the new millennium." Journal of
Contemporary Religion
"The scholarship here is as much a look forward as it is a look
back. It thus serves to advance conversations about the manner in
which evangelicals have been and will be movers and shakers in the
formation of American cultures." Review and Expositor
"Noll offers not only an attractive portrayal of evangelical
beliefs and practices, but an accurate one as well. This work will
interest both Evangelicals and non-Evangelicals." Journal of
Religion
"The book is a fine introduction for beginners, a text for
students and a challenge to those who are committed to the
enhancement of the gospel, as Evangelical or other Christian."
Jeffrey Gros, Secretariat for Ecumenical and Interreligious
Affairs
"Premier evangelical scholar Mark Noll has once again provided a helpful contribution to the ongoing conversation regarding the nature of American evangelicalism." Journal of Church and State
