This thorough and lively overview of Christian history in the United States, from colonial times to the present, is informed by both classical and recent scholarship and is written for the non-specialist. Four key insights frame the book. Christianity in America: (1) is chiefly a story of popular movements, (2) is influenced by conflict and engagement with modern ideas, (3) directly affects public life, and (4) expresses its identity and seeks its mission in a pluralistic culture. Unlike many histories, Koester offers ample coverage of Protestant, Evangelical, and Roman Catholic developments. Includes black & white illustrations, maps, glossary, and other study aids.

The book is brand new and will be dispatched from UK.
"Many general readers and beginning students want a concise, basic overview instead of a massive, detailed volume about the historical develpment of Christianity in the United States. That is just what this book provides - a brief survey, in understandable language, based upon respected academic sources."
