The Old Religion in a New World

History & Biography

“The Old Religion in a New World is marked by Noll's characteristic lucidity and reflects his enviable mastery of a wide range of specialist literature. His clarity should not be mistaken for the na?vet? of some once-over-lightly texts. His expert understanding of the history of Christianity and the history of theology, not only in his own country but also in Europe, Canada, and Mexico, allows him to transcend the limitations of a merely 'Americanist' perspective. The result is a book that offers an unusual breadth of perspective, revisiting a number of interpretive questions with new insight. Noll writes with a refreshing candor, fair-mindedness, and wisdom. Readers can know they are in good hands.”

History & Biography

“This book offers many insights for the historian, the literary critic, and the student of Christian spirituality, but even more, it conveys something of the humility and grace of Anne Steele herself, whose faith was profound but never triumphalistic. If this book helps to revive scholarly interest in the life and work of Anne Steele, it will have performed a valuable role. If it inspires readers - as I think it should - to turn to Christ himself as refuge of their weary souls, it will have done even more.”
