Sincethe earliest European settlers reached the shores of Massachusetts and Virginia in the 17th century, Protestantism has been inextricably linked with the development of American politics and culture. In this book, eminent religious historian Mark Noll explores history of many significant individuals, as well as the evolution of Protestant denominations, with all their regional ethnic variety, to the present day. He follows the varied impact of Protestants on American public life--from temperance to civil rights, from meeting houses to the White House. He covers the establishment of such influential Protestant organization as the American Bible Society, the National Baptist Convention, and the Salvation Army, and the significant expansion of the denominations' ethnic base since the first African-American Protestant churches were built in the 1770s.
