Reviews

"It is well researched, well written, and innovative in treatment and emphasis. An informative, challenging book that is also enjoyable to read. It is a rare accomplishment in that it is very fair, while at the same time being "engaged" scholarship. I would certainly include (this) study on a list of the most important half-dozen or so scholarly works on American fundamentalism." - Richard J. Mouw, Fuller Theological Seminary
