The Great Awakening, the rise of fundamentalism and Pentecostalism, the emergence of Billy Graham—all these developments and many more have given shape to one of the most dynamic movements in American religious history. Taken together, these turning points serve as a clear and helpful roadmap for understanding how evangelicalism has become what it is today. Each chapter in this book has been written by one of the world's top experts in American religious history, and together they form a single narrative of evangelicalism's remarkable development. Here is an engaging, balanced, coherent history of American evangelicalism from its origins as a small movement to its status as a central player in the American religious story. Contributors & Topics Harry S. Stout on the Great Awakening Catherine A. Brekus on the evangelical encounter with the Enlightenment Jon Butler on disestablishment Richard Carwardine on antebellum reform Marguerite Van Die on the rise of the domestic ideal Luke E. Harlow on the Civil War and conservative American evangelicalism George M. Marsden on the rise of fundamentalism Edith Blumhofer on urban Pentecostalism Dennis C. Dickerson on the Great Migration Mark Hutchinson on the global turn in American evangelicalism Grant Wacker on Billy Graham's 1949 Los Angeles revival Darren Dochuk on American evangelicalism's Latin turn Review: Unexpectedly fascinating - When I picked up this book I expected to find insightful essays that cover some of the pivotal, well-known moments in American religious history: the Great Awakening, the Fundamentalist/Modernist controversy, etc. At this, the book did not disappoint. The authors provided engaging and thought-provoking discussions of these big moments that shaped the American story. But the real treat was still to come. The greatest part about reading a book like this is all the things you are "forced" to read that may not normally catch your eye. Behind the well-worn stories of Great Awakenings lurk some truly fascinating moments that have shaped our world. For me these gems included "The Rise of the Domestic Ideal," "Urban Pentecostalism," "The Great Migration," and "Billy Graham's 1949 Los Angeles Revival." Each of these essays was worthy the price of the book alone. Reading this book is like going with a trusted friend to a new type of restaurant you've never visited before. There may be some strange new flavors, but you might just end up with a new favorite dish. One note of warning - these essays mostly assume that you already know the basic story of American religious history. In this way, it differs starkly from Noll's original Turning Points book. Don't expect a clear, simple narrative of the events. Instead, this book offers meaty analysis of the events insights into why these moments matter so much. If you are ready for that, jump in and enjoy! Otherwise, it would help to read a survey of the history of religion in America before you tackle Turning Points. Review: Yeah - It was very well written and researched.As an ex evangelical l was both thrilled at its dynamic observations and horrified by its mindless simplistic assertions. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #2,774,427 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #8,080 in History of Christianity (Books) #9,364 in Christian Church History (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 18 Reviews | ## Images ![Turning Points in the History of American Evangelicalism - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91AbjqqTvqL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Unexpectedly fascinating *by J***N on August 5, 2019* When I picked up this book I expected to find insightful essays that cover some of the pivotal, well-known moments in American religious history: the Great Awakening, the Fundamentalist/Modernist controversy, etc. At this, the book did not disappoint.
