Praise for the earlier edition:
"An unusual and praiseworthy book. . . . 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, Washington Post Book World "The most detailed, most polished of the works in its tradition."--Martin E. Marty, New York Times Book Review "An intellectual delight that one does not so much read as savor."--America "The definitive one-volume study by the leading authority."--Christianity Today "No one writing or thinking hereafter about America's past will be able to ignore Ahlstrom's magisterial account of the religious element."--American Historical Review
