Christian Scholar's Review
"In the history-of-fundamentalism business, George Marsden remains
on top." Interpretation
"The work will be useful as a supplementary textbook. The clarity,
organization, and detail of Marsden's opening historical overview
provide excellent introduction to an extraordinarily lively
subject." Choice
"There is perhaps no one better able to facilitate an understanding
of American Protestant fundamentalism and evangelicalism than
George Marsden. . . The volume provides a helpful introduction to
and interpretation of the Protestant fundamentalist movement of the
20th century and the evangelicalism that grew out of that movement.
. . Marsden is successful in communicating his research and
interpretations in a style that is clear and readable, even for
those with little background in the subject. Recommended for both
academic and public libraries." Religious Studies Review
"It can serve as a review for specialists in the field and as a
wonderful introduction for those who are not. Professors can put it
into the hands of undergraduates with the confidence that they will
profit from it." Library Journal
"Anyone who is interested in this rapidly growing element in
today's society will want to read this excellent analysis.
Recommended for academic and public libraries."
