A History of Christianity in America

World Religions

“Mark Granquist’s A History of Christianity in America deftly explores Christianity’s vigorously complex expressions across three-plus centuries of American life. Here are the major European denominations, African American communities, startling American-born groups, and invigorating immigrants. We see the changing roles of women, fateful engagements with slavery, revivalists and theologians, war and peace, political interventions, and domestic and world missions—all in one clear, cogent volume. A masterly, fascinating account.”

Charles Lindbergh

History & Biography

“Christopher Gehrz’s tough-minded yet open curiosity about Charles Lindbergh’s perturbing spirituality—an amorphous Jesus and nebulous Christianity melded with pantheistic religiosities, eugenics, antisemitism, White supremacy, and American nationalism—brings forth a religious biography as compelling as it is fascinating. An absorbing, necessary American read.”

The Scandal of the Evangelical Mind

History & Biography

“This is a book that every American historian ought to read precisely because it makes onethink hard about a subject and a discipline in a way that few books do.”

Unto a Good Land

History & Biography

“Unto a Good Land beautifully integrates the character of American religion, values, and idealistic concerns into an excellent narrative history without cant or special pleading and with real judiciousness and balance — a difficult task accomplished with sensitivity and vigor.”
