Apunta't a LibraryThing per saber si aquest llibre et pot agradar. No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. Pretty good book in the early chapters. Balmer draws a lot of poor conclusions about the new right from false premises. He pushes a negative agenda and doesn't understand new right religon or politics. ( )
Regrettably, however, Balmer's political partialities heavily influence not only his reflective commentary but his historical interpretations as well. Thus, the book is a perceptive and beneficial analysis from a particular ideological location, but it is not the place to start for those who would like to gain a clearer and fuller understanding of the distinctives of American evangelicalism.
With impressively clear prose and a superb command of history, best-selling author Randall Balmer offers a spirited history of evangelical Christianity in the United States. Effortlessly situating developments in evangelicalism in their wider historical context, he demonstrates the ways American social and cultural settings influenced the course of the evangelical tradition. By revealing the four key moments in the movement's history, he ably demonstrates how American Evangelicalism is truly American. Concluding with a manifesto directing where evangelicalism must go from here forth, Balmer's The Making of Evangelicalism will interest every reader--evangelical, mainline, secular--who wants to better understand evangelicals today.
