Overview
Transatlantic Religion offers a new perspective on nineteenth-century American Christianity that takes into account the century’s major transformations in politics, philosophy, education, and religious doctrine. The book includes previously unexamined material to explain the influences of European ideas on the intellectual diversity and cultural specifics of American Christianity. It gives readers access to a new analytical approach to the transatlantic development of religion in America, one that acknowledges the role of ecumenical and partisan religious journalism, academic-religious mentoring, profound changes in the field of scientific inquiry, and the aims of institution builders. Contributors are: Annette G. Aubert, Lee C. Barrett, Elizabeth A. Clark, Andrew Z. Hansen, Charlotte Hansen, George Harinck, Paul E. Kerry, Andrew Kloes, David Komline, Hartmut Lehmann, Mark A. Noll, C. Michael Shea, Timothy Verhoeven, Zachary Purvis.

This is a ground-breaking work of scholarship by a group of top-tier scholars. Anyone interested in thinking about modern intellectual and religious history in transatlantic terms ought to consult it and will find it rewarding. - Thomas Albert Howard, Professor of Humanities and History, Valparaiso University This book demonstrates better than any other single volume to date how very important for the history of Christianity in the United States those [transatlantic] connections, links, and relationships have been. - Mark A. Noll (from the Foreword). A new generation of young historians with a keen interest in religious matters has begun to draw a new and more accurate picture of 'Transatlantic Religion.' - Hartmut Lehmann (from the Epilogue).
