400 Years of Faith in America: From the Founding to Our Future God is Faithful

From Plymouth's rocky shore to today's contested public square, "400 Years of Faith in America" tells the vivid story of how religion has shaped a nation. Sweeping from the Pilgrims' covenant through the thunder of Edwards and Whitefield, the rise of Methodists, Baptists, and Presbyterians, Finney's reforming fire, and the long struggle over faith in public life, this is history written with narrative power and scholarly precision. Here is no dry catalog of doctrines, but a living chronicle of ordinary believers and extraordinary leaders whose convictions forged institutions, fueled reform, and continually redefined what it means to be both faithful and American-revealing the past as the soil from which today's questions of belief, freedom, and community still grow.
