Reviews

For breadth of research, depth of historical insight, and timeliness of publication, God and the Atlantic is an unusually fine work. Its careful cataloguing of European responses to religion in the United States shows that perspectives from the conservative Right and radical Left share a common rigidity and even sometimes nearly identical judgments. By contrast, European savants who traveled extensively in the United States have sometimes seen things more clearly, and with more nuance, than even America's homegrown observers. The book is a pathbreaking exploration. Mark A. Noll, University of Notre Dame. Author of America's God: From Jonathan Edwards to Abraham Lincoln
