| Description: |
In this book, The Work We Have To Do, Mark Noll establishes a coherent history of the multidimensional, multiregional , and multiethnic Protestant religious group. Beginning with the 'separatists' in England, Noll traces the physical and ideological route of protestants in America up to the present day. Back matter includes chronology, further reading, table of Protestant denominations or associations, and an index. Sidebars address primary source material,and a section of black-and-white illustrations is included. |
| Synopsis: |
A readable, far-reaching history of a multi-denominational, multi-regional, and multi-ethnic religious group, Protestants in America explores the physical and ideological roots of the denomination up to the present day, and traces the origins of American Protestants all the way back to the first English colony at Jamestown. The book covers their involvement in critical issues from temperance to the civil rights movement, the establishment of Protestant organizations like the American Bible Society and the Salvation Army, and the significant expansion of their ethnic base since the first African-American Protestant churches were built in the 1770s. Mark Noll follows their direct impact on American history-from the American Revolution to World War I and beyond-and peppers his account with profiles of leading Protestants, from Jonathan Edwards and Phillis Wheatley to Billy Graham and Martin Luther King, Jr. |
