It takes a modern, almost anthropological view of history, in which worship is a part of a web of culture along with play, love, dress, and language.”—B.A. Weisberger, <i>Washington Post Book World</i></p> <p>“The most detailed, most polished of the works in its tradition.”—Martin E. Marty, <i>New York Times Book Review</i></p> <p>“An intellectual delight that one does not so much read as savor.”—<i>America</i></p> <p>“The definitive one-volume study by the leading authority.”—<i>Christianity Today</i></p> <p>“No one writing or thinking hereafter about America’s past will be able to ignore Ahlstrom’s magisterial account of the religious element.”—<i>American Historical Review</i></p>
