The Modernist Impulse in American Protestantism

"A masterful historical-theological survey of American Protestant Liberal thought." - Journal of Religion

"One of the three or four masterful interpretations of American theology, impressive in breadth and range, sophisticated in its judgments, sure in its clarification of theological nuance, but never pedantic or tiresome." - E. Brooks Holifield , Reviews in American History

"The most vivid, compelling, and useful portrait of liberalism yet to appear. . . . A major contribution to our understanding of the career of Christian theology." - Lloyd J. Averill , Christian Century

"A landmark volume. . . . Those interested in the history of American thought or religion in general can ill afford to neglect it." - Martin E. Marty
