Strong\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book, widely regarded as groundbreaking since its publication over thirty-five years ago, sheds light on the more radical and prophetic roots of American evangelicalism and has challenged countless readers to rethink their evangelical heritage. It argues that nineteenth-century American evangelicals held a more mature vision of the faith, for they engaged demanding justice, peace, and social issues--a vision that was betrayed and distorted by twentieth-century neo-evangelicals. The book helps readers understand that the broader origins of American evangelicalism include the social justice concerns of today's church. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFeaturing new historic photos and illustrations, this edition includes new introductory and concluding chapters and incorporates relevant updates.

That battle continues today, and this new edition will compel believers and observers alike to appreciate the nuances and paradoxes of Christian identity and political action.\u003cbr\u003e--\u003cb\u003eMolly Worthen\u003c\/b\u003e, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill; author of \u003ci\u003eApostles of Reason: The Crisis of Authority in American Evangelicalism\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"This is one of the most significant and important works on American evangelical history. Donald Dayton has valiantly upheld often-neglected stories within our tradition that desperately need to be heard.

My own scholarship has been seasoned by its outlook. I don't agree with all the details of Dayton's evangelical narrative. But for non-Calvinist, non-Republican, evangelical scholars like me, it continues to inspire a much more accurate, comprehensive kind of evangelical history than that which Dayton was taught nearly half a century ago.\"\u003cbr\u003e--\u003cb\u003eDouglas A.

Its rich portrayal of a gospel-driven evangelical engagement with the social ills of nineteenth-century America proved that to be evangelical does not mean to abandon a concern for social justice--quite the contrary!
