Baylor Early American Christianity (3 vols.)
Overview
Since the Colonial era, America has fostered a unique environment of unprecedented religious toleration alongside intermittent persecution. This collection evaluates the distinct, diverse, and conflicted phenomenon that is American Christianity.
In The Making of Evangelicalism, Randall Balmer examines the key developments in American evangelicalism—from the awakenings of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, to the rise of the religious right. Preaching Politics traces the surprising and lasting influence of George Whitefield and his role in crafting a common worldview among the American colonies. Finally, in Shenandoah Religion, Stephen L. Longenecker uses the Virginia valley as a case study to reveal how the fabric of American pluralism was woven throughout the country.
