"Blending a commanding knowledge of the fi eld with a rare gift for
synthesis and lucid expression, Mark Noll brings to life what it
meant for Christians in a diff erent time and place to wrestle with
the political implications of their faith." Nathan O. Hatch,
University of Notre Dame "His study . . . should provoke us afresh
to a reexamination of the interpretation of belief and culture in
our own time." David F. Wells, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary
When Christians understand the religious history of the United
States, with its close connection to political history, they are
better prepared to make knowledgable contributions to the current
discussion of national values, priorities and purposes. Christians
in the American Revolution begins with a brief survey of the
political and religious background of the pre-Revolutionary years.
Th e author then examines the influence of various religious
convictions on the movement for independence and, conversely, the
eff ect of the Revolution on colonial church bodies and their
understanding of Christian truth. Colonial Christians responded in
four major ways to the Revolution: they supported complete freedom
in politics and religion; they advocated social and political
reform; they called for submission to English authority; and they
argued against involvement of Christians in the war eff ort.
Whether Patriot, Reformer, Loyalist or Pacifi st, American
Christian colonials infl uenced not only the fledgling nation, but
the development of religious thought to the present. This revised
edition includes a new bibliographic essay detailing contributions
to this field since the first edition was published in 1977. MARK
A. NOLL (PhD, Vanderbilt University) is McManis Professor of
Christian Th ought at Wheaton College in Wheaton, Illinois. In
recent years he has been a visiting professor at Harvard Divinity
School, University of Chicago Divinity School, Westminster Th
eological Seminary and Regent College (Vancouver, British
Columbia). A widely recognized expert in American religious
history, he has written numerous books, including America's God,
The Scandal of the Evangelical Mind and A History of Christianity
in the United States and Canada.
