(A concise and readable history of Christianity in America...)
A concise and readable history of Christianity in America, one that fairly represents the character and role of evangelicalism, has long been lacking. There are emphasis on the twentieth century as on earlier ones, as much on ideals as on institutions. They will be constantly reminded of the social, economic, and political setting and of the interchange between church and culture.

(How did the American church begin, and how did it evolve ...)
How did the American church begin, and how did it evolve to meet changing needs? This readable survey traces the story of Christianity in America beginning with the first settlers, who came to the New World seeking religious freedom. The book then proceeds to the founding of the United States, the Revolution, the Civil War, and finally the tumultuous decades of the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. Along the way, the authors show that Christians have played a pivotal role in every significant social movement in America, from the abolition of slavery to the push for civil rights. They also discuss current topics such as pluralism, church-state separation, and the role of minorities in American churches.
