The Search for a Rational Faith

Reason and Belief in the History of American Christianity

Beschreibung

The Search for a Rational Faith presents a 400-year narrative history of Anglo-American Protestant intellectual defenses of the Christian faith from the seventeenth century to the present. It challenges popular assumptions about secularization by showing that faith and reason have long coexisted in American educational establishments and by demonstrating that the Enlightenment and Darwinian science were much more compatible with American Protestant Christianity than many assume.
