The Civil War, which both sides fought earnestly in what they considered defense of their religious principles, proves that American religion brings a passion to change society, even when people disagree vehemently on what the Christian idea is. I wanted this book so I could improve my knowledge of the history of Christianity. While I did do that, I think I learned more about American history in the process. Professor Noll traces the history of Christians in what has become English North America and shows how their beliefs interacted with their behavior. The book starts out as your typical historical narrative. After the First World War, however, that story breaks down and the format shifts to look at different trends and people that impacted Christianity for the rest of the 20th Century. --J. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
