Introduction to the History of Christianity in the United States

History & Biography

“Many general readers and beginning students want a concise, basic overview instead of a massive, detailed volume about the historical development of Christianity in the United States. That is just what this book provides – a brief survey, in understandable language, based upon respected academic sources. The breadth of content covered in so few pages is remarkable. Koester is balanced and judicious in her narrative, and she is aware of the themes and issues of current scholarship. The excerpts from primary documents and the additional illustrations in this revised edition are significant enhancements that help bring the story to life.”
