Biography

Darren Dochuk is Andrew V. Tackes College Professor of History at the University of Notre Dame, where he also serves as William W. and Anna Jean Cushwa Co-Director of the Cushwa Center for the Study of American Catholicism. He teaches and writes widely on the history of religion, politics, energy, and environment in America.

Ian E. Van Dyke is a Visiting Assistant Professor of History at Grand Valley State University in Allendale, Michigan, where he teaches courses on U.S., global, and religious history. He is currently working on his next book, Radical Disciples: Global Evangelicals, American Missionaries, and the Promise of Multicultural Christianity.

“This intelligently edited book makes an unusually effective contribution to untangling a dauntingly complex subject. It enlists younger as well as veteran contributors, explains why 'evangelicalism' can be defined as religion or as social movement (or both), positions American evangelicals against evangelicals elsewhere in the world, and illuminates both evangelical history and historiography about evangelicals. At a time of much heated debate about its subject, this Routledge history stands out as a beacon of light.”

Mark Noll, University of Notre Dame (Emeritus), USA

“Is evangelicalism a theology, an aesthetic, a racial identity, a politics? Yes, answer the authors of this volume, it is almost all of those and not quite any of them. This volume assembles top scholars of American religion to offer a timely analysis of this divided and divisive tradition.”

Alison Collis Greene, Candler School of Theology/Emory University, USA
