About the Author of "America's God"
Mark Noll - author of "America's God" - is one of the most celebrated historians and authors of American religious history. He is Francis A. McAnaney Professor of History at Notre Dame University. Mark Noll recently joined the history department at Notre Dame, after 27 years at Wheaton College as a member of the history and theology departments, where he taught a range of courses from American intellectual history and the general history of Christianity to modern British history and the history of history-writing. Professor Noll will not be present at the panel discussion of his book.
About Our Panelists
Among our several distinguished panelists is Prof. Nicholas Miller, Director of the Andrews University International Institute of Religious Liberty, an attorney with a rich background in theology and church history who recently published a review of Noll's book. Prof. Miller is currently working on his doctoral dissertation at Notre Dame with Dr. Noll as one of his advisors. Our other panelists include Drs. Emory Tolbert of Howard University and Doug Morgan and Roy Branson from Columbia Union College.
Reviews of Mark Noll’s Book
According to Wall Street Journal’s review:
"America's God deserves to be hailed as the most comprehensive treatment of early American religious thought. But it is far more than that, since Mr. Noll is tracking here not only the rise and fall of American theology but also the genesis of American civilization...Mr. Noll laments the passing of Christian republicanism and in the end suggests that a dose of Jonathan Edwards ('the last of the Puritans and the first of the evangelicals') may be just what contemporary America needs. You do not have to agree with that assessment to appreciate this fine book, which brings some of the nation's greatest thinkers very much alive."--Wall Street Journal
According to the review in Books and Culture:
"Those who might consider America's God an old-fashioned work about a bygone era and might therefore pass Noll by will do so at their peril...Argue over interfaith services after 9/11, prayers by football teams at public schools, in 'creationism' versus 'evolutionism,' Focus on the Family; 'the virtues,' the American moral condition, 'under God' in the Pledge of Allegiance, the political power of the Religious Right--engage in any or all of these debates, and you will be contending in the shadow of the achievements of Noll's cast of characters."-- Books and Culture
