How American Experience Reflects Global Faith

By Mark A. Noll
(IVP Academic, 2009)

With characteristic rigor and insight, Mark Noll revisits the history of the American church in the context of world events.

He makes the compelling case that how Americans have come to practice the Christian faith is just as globally important as what the American church has done in the world. He backs up this substantial claim with the scholarly attentiveness we have come to expect from him, lucidly explaining the relationship between the development of Christianity in North America and the development of Christianity in the rest of the world, with attention to recent transfigurations in world Christianity.

Hardcover, 250 pages.

About the author

Category: Books by the Fellows

We take, and must continue to take, morally hazardous actions to preserve our civilization. We must exercise our power. But we ought neither to believe that a nation is capable of perfect disinterestedness in its exercise, nor become complacent about particular degrees of interest and passion which corrupt the justice whereby the exercise of power is legitimatized.
