The Intellectual
Chapter 8 outlines how Franklin gained international fame for discoveries he made about electricity and the nature of lightning, not to mention the inventions he produced on the basis of this knowledge. The Philadelphian’s scientific achievements, which gained a notable place in the Enlightenment, were largely the product of a curiosity that was indefatigable, as well as a dedication to share information and learn about the discoveries of other n…
Benjamin Franklin: Cultural Protestant
Benjamin Franklin grew up in a devout Protestant family with limited prospects for wealth and fame. By hard work, limitless curiosity, native intelligence, and luck (what he called “providence”), Franklin became one of Philadelphia’s most prominent leaders, a world-recognized scientist, and the United States’ leading diplomat during the War for Independence. Along the way, Franklin embodied the Protestant ethics and cultural habits he learned and…
Reformed Theology and Global Christianity: The Cases of South Africa and Korea
From its inception, Reformed Protestantism was an international phenomenon. Invariably, the places where European and American missionaries went were the very same locations where European powers operated a vast set of economic and political enterprises. Furthermore, because the missionaries themselves were the product of Christian developments in the West—whether the Protestant opposition to Roman Catholicism or intra-Protestant squabbles (Luthe…
Turning Points in the History of American Evangelicalism
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, a…

America's Battle for God: A European Christian Looks at Civil Religion – By Geiko Müller‐fahrenholz
Fundamentalists in the City: Conflict and Division in Boston's Churches, 1885-1950
Historical investigation of Protestant Fundamentalism hit a speed bump in 1980 with the publication of George M. Marsden's magisterial Fundamentalism and American Culture. The problem was not the book's defects, which were few, but that it was a historical synthesis written before scholars had put together a sufficient series of monographic studies on which to construct such a summary. Consequently, for the last quarter of a century, Marsden's in…
Mainstream Protestantism, “Conservative” Religion, and Civil Society
Just fifty-five years ago, the idea of a front-running presidential candidate from either the Democratic or Republican parties campaigning at Bob Jones University was unthinkable. After all, BJU was on the cultural periphery owing to its fundamentalist reputation. Having lost the battles in the mainline Protestant denominations and having suffered the ignominy of the Scopes Trial, fundamentalists like those who sent their children to Bob Jones in…

The Protestant Enlightenment Revisited: Daniel Coit Gilman and the Academic Reforms of the Modern American University
An exchange took place at the end of the nineteenth century between William Rainey Harper and Dwight L. Moody that makes little sense to those who study American intellectual life at the end of the twentieth. What is remarkable about this incident is not that Harper, the president of the University of Chicago, a new institution dedicated to promoting science, advanced research and graduate education, invited Moody, the leading revivalist of the G…

Divided between Heart and Mind: The Critical Period for Protestant Thought in America
In 1854, Philip Schaff, professor of church history at Mercersburg Theological Seminary and minister of the German Reformed Church, reported to his denomination on the state of Christianity in America. Although the American Church had many shortcomings, according to Schaff the United States was ‘by far the most religious and Christian country in the world’. Many Protestant leaders, however, took a dimmer view of Christianity's prospects. In the m…

Poems, Propositions, and Dogma: The Controversy over Religious Language and the Demise of Theology in American Learning
One of the ironies in the annals of nineteenth-century American Protestantism is the impact that Horace Bushnell's famed address "Dogma and Spirit" had upon the theological scene. In his remarks before the Porter Rhetorical Society at Andover Seminary in September 1848, the Congregationalist minister from Hartford established his reputation as one of the more controversial, if not gifted, theologians in New England. Bushnell offered a vision of C…
