Description
Book SynopsisTrade Review"As has been consistent with Elizabeth Clark’s impressive scholarship,
The Father’s Refounded is another masterpiece that anyone seriously interested in the history of Modernism or Protestant Liberalism, or in the history of the discipline of early Christian studies, or early American Christian scholarship on these topics, cannot ignore. This volume makes an important contribution to this intellectual history: the history of early Christian scholarship. Such studies shed light on the history of our disciplines and academic institutions. They provide clues to our past, and sometimes such studies provide us insights on how we may move forward fruitfully." * Review of Biblical Literature *
"
The Fathers Refounded is a truly brilliant book, massively researched, beautifully written, often witty, and rich with insight." * Grant Wacker, author of
America's Pastor: Billy Graham and the Shaping of America *
"Focusing on Protestant and Catholic thinkers who developed fresh interpretations of Christianity during a transformational era in U.S. intellectual and religious life, Elizabeth A. Clark constructs an illuminating narrative about the complex relationship between Christian faith and modern experience. Her transdenominational work is a model for future scholarship in U.S. religious history." * James P. McCartin, Fordham University *
