Content
editAmerica's God charts a history of Protestant evangelical theology in the United States from 1720 to 1865, focusing primarily on theology during the American Revolution and afterward.[1]
Genre
editNoll introduces the work as a "contextual history of Christian theology".[2] Daniel Walker Howe described it as intellectual history,[3] and historian Margaret Bendroth called it "unapologetically […] intellectual history, albeit carefully contextualized with other narratives of economic, political, and social change".[4] Religious studies scholar Ann Taves considered it "the first extended effort to write a contextual or social history of American Protestant theology through the Civil War".[5] According to Publishers Weekly, America's God's differs from "old-fashioned intellectual history" by grounding the history in social contexts that "shaped, and were shaped by, theology".[6] Quoting the book, reviewer Trisha Posey called it a "social history of ideas".[7]
Reception
edit[]
Historian Nathan O. Hatch called America's God Noll's "magnum opus" and a "magisterial synthesis" of "a lifetime of immersion" in primary sources and secondary sources.[8]
Honors
editAmerica's God received a starred review from Publishers Weekly.[6] The Historical Society awarded it the 2004 Eugene D. Genovese Best Book in American History Prize.[9]
