Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

In 1964, when Henry F. May wrote “The Recovery of American Religious History,” the article that made religion respectable for historians, evangelicalism did not exist as a scholarly subject. What today we categorize as evangelicalism—among many things—May understood as revivalism. But the historiographical landscape changed dramatically in the 1970s, thanks in part to the election as president of Jimmy Carter, who self-identified as born-again, and the subsequent rise of the religious Right. Since 1980 the study of evangelicalism has become, as Jon Butler claimed in 1992, somewhat in disbelief, the “single most powerful … device … to explain the distinctive features of American society, culture, and identity.” The collection of essays in this book honors the writings and career of Mark A. Noll, the historian who arguably did as much as any scholar to put the history of evangelicalism on the academic map. The chapters represent the abiding fascination that historians have with born-again Protestantism. The essays capture the state of recent evangelical historiography in two ways. First, they include reflections from some of the most important interpreters of evangelicalism—Harry S. Stout on Puritanism, Catherine A. Breckus on the colonial awakenings, Butler on disestablishment at the American founding, Richard Carwardine on revivalism and antebellum social reform, George M. Marsden on fundamentalism, Edith L. Blumhofer on Pentecostalism, Grant Wacker on Billy Graham, and Darren Dochuk on Latin American evangelicalism. Second, the essays reflect the way that Noll supplemented the dominant narrative of American evangelicalism by keeping an eye on international networks and race (Marguerite Van Die on Canadian evangelicalism, Mark Hutchinson on institutions with global reach, Luke E. Harlow on debates over slavery, and Dennis C. Dickerson on the black church).
