Over the last three decades, there has been an explosion of scholarship related to American Protestantism. Hundreds, if not thousands, of monographs and journal articles have appeared on this broad topic across the fields of history, theology, ethics, politics, sociology, and literary studies. Numerous scholarly societies – including the American Academy of Religion, the American Historical Association, the American Society for Church History, and the Southern Historical Association, to name just a few – have taken the breadth and diversity of American Protestantism as a subject for extensive discussions.
Taken collectively, this recent torrent of scholarly activity has dramatically altered and enriched our understanding of American Protestantism. First and foremost, by shifting the focus away from narrow denominational histories and the stories of elite theologians and institutions, recent scholarship has yielded a much more dynamic understanding of the relationship between Protestantism and American culture. On this front, several early works (relative to the period under consideration) were especially influential: Nathan Hatch ’ s The Democratization of American Christianity (1989), Randall Balmer ’ s Mine Eyes Have Seen the Glory (1989), David Hall ’ s Worlds of Wonder, Days of Judgement (1990), Jon Butler’s Awash in a Sea of Faith (1990), and Roger Finke and Rodney Stark ’ s landmark work, The Churching of America (1992).
