Description
Book SynopsisTraces the history of the most meaningful theological expressions and the cultural significance of American Protestantism, from its origins in seventeenth-century Puritanism to the 1950s.
Trade ReviewAmerican Protestant Theology serves at least two important purposes for present-day readers: first, it capably pares down over three hundred years of theological development into a single, slim tome; and second, it accomplishes this task from the perspective of an outsider who nevertheless found a great deal to like about his chosen subject. Giussani jumps from movement to movement and from theologian to theologian with great ease, displaying an impressive familiarity with his source material. Spencer' s excellent introduction provides readers a useful primer on Giussani, and with any luck, this English-language translation will lead to greater academic and popular interest in his life and work. - H-AmRel, H-Net Reviews
