This book comes along at the time time when 'the center did not
hold, ' when we are beginning to lose the 'core denominations' and
'mainstream historians' as a reference group. There is much fresh
material here.--Martin E. Marty "author of Religion and the
Republic: The American Circumstance"
This book is balanced and makes a wonderful collection.--Charles
Lippy "author of Being Religious, American Style: A History of
Popular Religiosity in the United States"
