This comprehensive reference work brings together a diverse cross-section of established and emerging historians to explore the broad and deep history of Bible-believing, born-again Protestantism, and its dynamic impact on American life and society.
The first part of this handbook features nine chronological chapters outlining the history and historiography of evangelicalism in the lands that became the United States from the late eighteenth century to the present. In the second part, eighteen thematic chapters examine different aspects of evangelical history, including particular worship traditions within evangelicalism (such as Anabaptism and Pentecostalism); evangelical Christianity within diasporic communities (such as Asian Americans and Latinos/as); and the intersections of evangelicalism with other aspects of U.S. history—from consumer capitalism and pop culture to sexuality and foreign relations. Together, these deep, wide-ranging, and tempered readings of religious history seek to anchor conversations on evangelicalism in its fuller permutations: as an intellectual and ecclesiastical tradition, a political force, a social influence, and a cultural phenomenon.
The Routledge History of Evangelical Christianity in America is an essential guide for scholars, graduate students, seminarians, advanced undergraduates in secular and religious universities, and general readers of American history interested in the current state of the field.

This intelligently edited book makes an unusually effective contribution to untangling a dauntingly complex subject. It enlists younger as well as veteran contributors, explains why 'evangelicalism' can be defined as religion or as social movement (or both), positions American evangelicals against evangelicals elsewhere in the world, and illuminates both evangelical history and historiography about evangelicals. At a time of much heated debate about its subject, this Routledge history stands out as a beacon of light.

Is evangelicalism a theology, an aesthetic, a racial identity, a politics? Yes, answer the authors of this volume, it is almost all of those and not quite any of them. This volume assembles top scholars of American religion to offer a timely analysis of this divided and divisive tradition.
