Sweeney, Douglas A. American Evangelical Story: A History of the Movement
Baker Publishing Group 2005 0-8010-2658-X / 9780801026584 Paperback
ABOUT THE BOOK American Evangelical Story: A History of the Movement FROM THE CRITICS Library Journal Sweeney (church history, Trinity Evangelical Divinity Sch.) surveys the development of the American evangelical movement, including its European influences, from the 18th century's Great Awakening to today. Often called a folk religion without doctrinal platform, evangelism, as rooted in scriptural orthodoxy, has held significant sway in Christian mainline churches. It is currently growing among Latin American and African congregants. Sweeney underscores the historical diversity and challenges of evangelism and is particularly strong in delineating the lesser-known story of the movement among African Americans. Each chapter contains annotated suggestions for further reading, which enhances the book's use for seminary and college courses in religion. Sweeney also details major figures, both male and female, from Jonathan Edwards to Charles E. Fuller and Billy Graham, noting their contributions of renewal within the greater universal church. With a clear writing style, refreshingly modern text, and black-and-white photos, the book offers insightful perspectives on today's many evangelical denominations and is recommended for religious, academic, and public library collections.-Anna M. Donnelly, St. John's Univ. Lib., Jamaica, NY Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.
