John Brown is immortal”
The American popularity of the English evangelist Charles Spurgeon was short-circuited by the burgeoning crisis over slavery and secession. Some scholars have noted his antislavery views, but few have even commented on the controversy over his antislavery stance, or fully examined the American context of his controversial opinions in the turbulent months between John Brown’s raid on Harpers Ferry in October 1859 and Abraham Lincoln’s nomination f…

Benjamin Franklin
A major new biography, illuminating the great mystery of Benjamin Franklin’s faith Renowned as a printer, scientist, and diplomat, Benjamin Franklin also published more works on religious topics than any other eighteenth-century American layperson. Born to Boston Puritans, by his teenage years Franklin had abandoned the exclusive Christian faith of his family and embraced deism. But Franklin, as a man of faith, was far more complex than the “thor…
Who Is an Evangelical
A leading historian of evangelicalism offers a concise history of evangelicals and how they became who they are today Evangelicalism is arguably America’s most controversial religious movement. Nonevangelical people who follow the news may have a variety of impressions about what “evangelical” means. But one certain association they make with evangelicals is white Republicans. Many may recall that 81 percent of self†‘described white evangelicals …

An Age of Infidels
The early national period of United States history saw furious public debates over religion, controversies that paradoxically resulted from the disestablishment of America's state churches and the constitutional ban on a national establishment of religion. Not that America lacked religious controversy before, but earlier dustups had been largely intra-Protestant, such as the feuds precipitated by the Great Awakening in the 1740s. Disestablishment…

Maura Jane Farrelly. Papist Patriots
This book makes a significant contribution to several fields: the histories of colonial Maryland, American Catholicism, religion in general, and the American Revolution. The history of American Catholicism, Maura Jane Farrelly explains, has been dominated by stories of nineteenth- and early twentieth-century immigration and the process of immigrants' Americanization. While everyone learns in school that Maryland was founded by Catholics, these co…
Great Awakening
American Christians and Islam
In the wake of the September 11 terrorist attacks, many of America's Christian evangelicals have denounced Islam as a "demonic" and inherently violent religion, provoking frustration among other Christian conservatives who wish to present a more appealing message to the world's Muslims. Yet as Thomas Kidd reveals in this sobering book, the conflicted views expressed by today's evangelicals have deep roots in American history. Tracing Islam's role…

Passing as a Pastor
Many impostors in the eighteenth century tried to pass as pastors in North America's churches. This phenomenon showed how increasing engagement with the broader Atlantic world could carry ominous implications for colonial religious leaders, implications that would become manifest in the itinerancy of the evangelical revivals and, in the early republic, finally crush any hopes of centered American religious authority. Eighteenth-century episodes o…

"Is It Worse to Follow Mahomet than the Devil?" Early American Uses of Islam
In the last public act before his death, Benjamin Franklin parodied a proslavery speech in Congress by comparing it to a fictitious proslavery address "anno 1687" by a North African Muslim, a pirate named Sidi Mehemet Ibrahim. Like proslavery southerners, the Algerian argued that he could not countenance the end of Christian slavery because it would hurt the interests of the Algerian state, there would be no way to compensate the Muslim slave mas…
