About this title: Religious life in early America is often equated with the fire-and-brimstone Puritanism best embodied by the theology of Cotton Mather. Yet, by the nineteenth century, American theology had shifted dramatically away from the severe European traditions directly descended from the Protestant Reformation, of which Puritanism was in the United States the most influential. In its place arose a singularly American set of beliefs. In America's God, Mark Noll has written a biography of this new American ethos. In the 125 years preceding the outbreak of the Civil War, theology played an ...

"Several professional reviews have called this book "magisterial." I must concur. This book is a study of American Christian theology from the Puritans up through the Civil War, the way American society has been effected by its dominant religious traditions, and the way such values as individualism and mistrust of inheried authority have shaped the way theology developed in America. The author further accenuates the unique character of Christianity in America by drawing occasional comparisons with the development of theology in Europe. In this book, one can see the seeds of modern day Evangelicalism and Fundamentalism and the "Religious Right." This book really made a lot of puzzle pieces fall together to me."
"Without much question, this is the best book written on the history of religion in America. Noll, a Notre Dame History Professor, is able to weave through American history without the hazards of facile conservative rhetoric for the present, and arrogant liberal denunciation of the past. His look at President Lincoln is of particular note. Lincoln rises above his hyper-religious contemporaries to provide the most profound and nuanced theological commentary on politics and God--all from a man who was reluctant to go to church on sunday mornings."
