Flatt demystifies the place of evangelicalism in a denomination replete with tensions on how to deal with the fundamentals of Christianity - it is fascinating to follow the different trajectories of the elite and apparently most of the laity. After Evangelicalism is essential reading for anyone serious about Canadian Protestant history and the polarization of those who championed ethical imperatives above all else and those who defended the core truth claims of Christianity.

Flatt demystifies the place of evangelicalism in a denomination replete with tensions on how to deal with the fundamentals of Christianity - it is fascinating to follow the different trajectories of the elite and apparently most of the laity. After Evangelicalism is essential reading for anyone serious about Canadian Protestant history and the polarization of those who championed ethical imperatives above all else and those who defended the core truth claims of Christianity. Eric Crouse, Department of History, Tyndale University College Flatt's book is readable, well organized, carefully argued, and grounded in meticulous archival research. Moreover, it is an important work. As this country's largest Protestant denomination, the United Church of Canada played a prominent role in Canadian public life -- and in the personal lives of many Canadian families -- throughout the twentieth century. Given the denomination's importance, it is surprising that few academics have produced books devoted exclusively to the history of the United Church. Thus, Flatt's work is a welcome addition both to the field of Canadian religious history and to the social and cultural history of postwar Canada. Canadian Historical Review
