Reviews"With this deeply researched and beautifully focused study of the origins of American evangelicalism, Thomas Kidd gives us nothing less than a fresh, post-revisionist understanding of the Great Awakening. But that is not all. By casting a powerful light upon the controversies at the outset of the evangelical movement, particularly those revolving around the third person of the Trinity, he illuminates the rest of that movement's conflicted history, providing insight into its enduring complexities, and its likely manifestations in the century ahead."--Wilfred McClay, author of "The Masterless: Self and Society in Modern America", "Despite the prodigious attention to the 'Great Awakening' in eighteenth-century America, there has been, amazingly, no modern comprehensive account that looks at all regions from Nova Scotia to Georgia. The result is a highly fragmented series of vignettes and biographies with no overarching narrative. That void has now been more than filled by Thomas Kidd''s masterful analysis of the eighteenth-century revivals and the 'evangelical' movement they spawned. Thoroughly researched and beautifully written, this book is must reading not only for early American historians, but for anyone concerned to understand the origins of modern evangelicalism."-Harry S. Stout, Yale University, "It has been fifty years since Edwin Gaustad told the history of New England's Great Awakening, and, since then, the revivals themselves have at times been almost lost sight of in debates about the fictions of memory and the invention of tradition. Thomas Kidd's narrative, returning squarely to the formative events and factions that shaped early evangelicalism, offers a valuable synoptic account of the beginnings of this continuously important movement."-Leigh E. Schmidt, Princeton University, "An informed and much-needed synthesis of the events that comprise the 'Great Awakening.' Judiciously describes evangelical efforts from Nova Scotia to Georgia over the entire eighteenth century and demonstrates the centrality of these revivals to an understanding of the American mind. Kidd's book will become the standard introduction to its subject."--Philip F. Gura, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, "Well researched, clearly written and authoritatively argued. There is no book of comparable breadth, either chronologically or geographically."-Mark Noll, University of Notre Dame
