Reviews

The market is full of books arguing the definition of 'who is an evangelical'-questions that this collection refreshingly ignores. For those looking for something beyond that argument and for most historians either connected directly to religion and politics or who see this as a subtheme in their own work, this collection carves out unique space that would be welcome. -David P. King, author of God's Internationalists

The difference today is a more polarized citizenry. -Catholic News Service
