In Christian Thought in America: A Brief History, Daniel Ott and
Hannah Schell offer a short, accessible overview of the history of
Christian thought in America, from the Puritans and other colonials
to the beginning of the twenty-first century. Moving
chronologically, each chapter addresses a historical segment,
focusing on key movements and figures and tracing general trends
and developments. While many texts offer a detailed history of
Christianity in the American context, few focus on the
philosophical and theological issues, which form an important yet
often neglected part of our history. The narrative aims to
underscore the diversity of Christian thought in America by
addressing issues in their historical contexts and by examining
across a range of traditions. At the same time, it conveys a sense
of the vibrancy of Christian thought, as well as the liveliness and
creativity of the ongoing theological debates. The book explores
several recurring themes that mark the trajectory of Christian
thought in America, including the idea of a divine mission, the
tendency to privilege the individual, and the influence of the
spirit of reform and revival.
