Publisher Synopsis
"Professor Hatch's amply documented study captures a wide range of the many-sided demands for equality and freedom that have characterized American Protestant Christianity, and the disdain for deference and patronage-nowhere more so than among black preachers. . . . The Democratization of American Christianity constitutes vital reading for those who would understand just what experience of the United States has done to Christian belief and practice."-Bryan Wilson, Times Literary Supplement"This study sheds important new light on early American social history. It extends a central theme that historians have used to explain political history into a new arena. It offers fresh ideas about the development of the evangelical movement that are important for all students of history to understand. In short, this book makes an important new contribution to social history."-Richard G. Miller, History: Reviews of New Books"Hatch provides an excellent account of the rise of democratically based, anti-elitist Protestant denominations in late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century America, linking them historically to the egalitarianism of Jeffersonian America. . . . This excellent study belongs in all academic libraries with serious American studies or religion collections. It is especially useful in providing guidance needed for further research, since many of the minor figures introduced by Hatch deserve full-length studies. Hatch deserves praise for a major effort!"-Library Journal"Great riches of information and insight: it is most warmly recommended."-Martin Fagg, Church Times"[A] perceptive and carefully-researched study."-Malcolm Bull, London Review of BooksWinner of the Society for Historians of the Early American Republic's annual book prize for the best book in the history of the early republic (1789-1850) published in 1989 Selected for the distinction of best books in American studies published in 1989 by the American Studies AssociationWinner of the 1988 Albert C.
