Jonathan Edwards: A Life
Fundamentalism and American Culture
Many Americans today are taking note of the surprisingly strong political force that is the religious right. Controversial decisions by the government are met with hundreds of lobbyists, millions of dollars of advertising spending, and a powerful grassroots response. How has the fundamentalist movement managed to resist the pressures of the scientific community and the draw of modern popular culture to hold on to their ultra-conservative Christia…
Seeking Synthesis in Edwards Scholarship
England side and offers a useful look at the socialization of men that could aid in further transatlantic comparisons. The question remains: does the study of masculinity have any explanatory force? Can masculinity be transformative, or is it merely reflective of power determined elsewhere? Anne Lombard deftly recasts the question by treating masculine ideals, not as a cause of historical change, but as a kind of anchor against the effects of cha…

A Catholic modernity: Charles Taylor's Marianist Award lecture, with responses by William M. Shea, Rosemary Luling Haughton, George Marsden, Jean Bethke Elshtain
This book offers a series of reflections on the state of Christianity, and especially Catholicism, in the world today.

Only a century ago, almost all state universities held compulsory chapel services, and some required Sunday church attendance as well. In fact, state-sponsored chapel services were commonplace until the World War II era, and as late as the 1950s, it was not unusual for leading schools to refer to themselves as "Christian" institutions. Today, the once pervasive influence of religion in the intellectual and cultural life of America's preeminent co…

The Ambiguities of Academic Freedom
While most of the cases that led to the founding of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) in 1915 had to do with firings of professors who had championed controversial political views, the AAUP founders were also concerned about dismissals on religious grounds. One case especially, that of Lafayette College, is particularly revealing not only of the character of the religious issues involved but also of the attitudes toward rel…

Fundamentalism as an American Phenomenon, A Comparison with English Evangelicalism
Fundamentalism" is used in so many ways that a definition is the only place to begin. As I here use the term, "fundamentalism" refers to a twentieth-century movement closely tied to the revivalist tradition of mainstream evangelical Protestantism that militantly opposed modernist theology and the cultural change associated with it. Fundamentalism shares traits with many other movements to which it has been related (such as pietism, evangelicalism…
Perry Miller's Rehabilitation of the Puritans: A Critique
In the era between the Civil War and the Depression the mythical character called the "American Mind" was troubled. All was well during the day when prosperity and success faced him at every turn, but at night he would sometimes dream of his childhood and awake feeling strangely uneasy. His analyst explained that this tension was the product of latent guilt feelings and suggested for therapy that he read himself to sleep with recent studies of th…
