Noll has written a tome that is rich in detail and yet broad in scope, covering a wide range of theological voices and placing them in their scope, covering a wide range of theological voices and placing them in their social and political context. America's God is an intellectual and theological feast for the mind. --Presbyterion: Covenant Seminary Review<br> A major contribution to our understanding of America's lavish heritage --laremont Review of Books<br> This eminently readable and carefully researched book deserves to stand as the history of antebellum American theology for decades to come.--Religious Studies Review<br> The wonderfully prolific Noll--as fine a historian as America now boasts--offers a rich and learned and deeply thoughtful magnum opus that is destined to shape discussions of the history of American religion and politics for a long time. Everyone who pretends to an interest in American history and American politics, to say nothing of American religion, must read this book. --The New Republic<br> America's God deserves to be hailed as the most comprehensive treatment of early American religious thought. But it is far more than that, since Mr. Noll is tracking here not only the rise and fall of American theology but also the genesis of American civilization...Mr. Noll laments the passing of Christian republicanism and in the end suggests that a dose of Jonathan Edwards ('the last of the Puritans and the first of the evangelicals') may be just what contemporary America needs. You do not have to agree with that assessment to appreciate this fine book, which brings some of the nation's greatest thinkers very much alive. --Wall Street Journal<br>
