Gr 7 Up-A good introduction to an important influence on American politics and culture. Noll begins by presenting background information on the Reformation and development of Protestantism in Europe, then moves to the story of the Puritans in early America. All of the memorable figures-Cotton Mather, Jonathan Edwards, Roger Williams, William Penn-are discussed, as is how the emerging churches differed from one another and from their "mother" churches in Europe. The author covers the Great Awakening of the late 18th century and the early Evangelical movements. The profound influence of the church on the Civil War and the early civil rights struggles is recounted. The book also delves into the Moral Majority years of Jerry Falwell, as well as new movements like Habitat for Humanity and the Promise Keepers. This volume is especially valuable for its discussion of the church in the African-American community and its coverage of smaller sects, like the Shakers. The many black-and-white photographs and reproductions add immensely to the text. Students looking for a general introduction to Protestantism and its influence will find a wealth of information here, as will American history students.-Elizabeth M. Reardon, McCallie School, Chattanooga, TN
