The churches and the American experience: Ideals and institutions

by Thomas A. Askew, Peter W. Spellman

A concise and readable history of Christianity in America, one that fairly represents the character and role of evangelicalism, has long been lacking. There are emphasis on the twentieth century as on earlier ones, as much on ideals as on institutions. They will be constantly reminded of the social, economic, and political setting and of the interchange between church and culture.
