George M. Marsden is the Francis A. McAnaney Professor of History at the University of Notre Dame. He is the author of Jonathan Edwards: A Life.
"Marsden reveals a great deal of history, showing the origins,
development and growth of evangelicalism and fundamentalism. His is
a focused yet broad scholarly work that has stood the test of time,
a worthwhile history resource on fundamentalism in
America."--Congregational Libraries Today
"Marsden elegantly synthesizes theological, social, cultural, and
intellectual history to elucidate the roots and development of
Christian fundamentalism.... An almost impossibly rich work....
This is the one book every American who wants to understand
fundamentalism should read. It's also among the best assessments of
the cultural transformations that convulsed American from the late
nineteenth century to the years immediately following the First
World War
(transformations this country is still assimilating) and, in its
masterly new chapter, of the peculiar and far-from-inevitable
political turn that fundamentalism has taken since the
1970s."--Atlantic
Monthly
"One of the most significant works of cultural history in the past
twenty-five years."--Benjamin Schwarz, Atlantic Monthly
"Marsden's book is brilliant in its ability to capture the
complexity of fundamentalism in terms of its origins, development,
and growth."--Theology Today (on previous edition)
"Remarkable for the range, richness, and balance of its
interpretations.... Marsden's work represents the very best in this
genre. It will not, for a very long time, be surpassed or
superseded."--William R. Hutchison, Harvard Divinity School
"Marsden reveals a great deal of history, showing the origins,
development and growth of evangelicalism and fundamentalism. His is
a focused yet broad scholarly work that has stood the test of time,
a worthwhile history resource on fundamentalism in
America."--Congregational Libraries Today
"A remarkable accomplishment.... Stands among the half-dozen or so
most significant books I have read in American religious
history."--Nathan O. Hatch, University of Notre Dame
