Romanticism in American Theology

Theology

“This new edition of James Hastings Nichols' classic study of the Mercersburg Theology will be welcomed enthusiastically by students of American theology and religious history. Who would have thought that the reappearance of 'Romanticism in American Theology' could be described as 'timely'? But with fresh interest in the thought of John W. Nevin and Philip Schaff breaking forth in many corners of both church and academy, it is important to have this standard monograph back in print. Nichols' description of Nevin and Schaff's engagement with Schliermacher and the leading edges of German philosophy, in opposition to main currents of American evangelicalism, remains as compelling as ever.”

Soul Recreation

Prayer & Spiritual Formation

“Schwanda's study of the 'contemplative-mystical piety' of seventeenth-century English Puritan Isaac Ambrose exhibits the best kind of Christian scholarship. This deeply researched book by an accomplished historian also explores the relevance of Ambrose's sense of intimacy with Christ for spiritual practice today. Schwanda renders a great service to the academy and church alike by bringing the writings and spiritual life of this key figure in the Puritan movement to light.”

The Old Religion in a New World

History & Biography

“This is the most wide-ranging portrayal of the history of Christianity in North America ever published as a medium-size book. By interspersing a comprehensive chronological narrative with discussions of enduring issues like pluralism and separation of church and state, Noll gives an eye-opening analysis of the role of Christian traditions, beliefs, and practices in American life today. The contemporary relevance of this book will make it useful to journalists, politicians, and civic leaders as well as to students.”
