Not since the Civil War had America been so divided by conflict. Religion was the prime agent in this unusual war: Left versus Right, Fundamentalists versus Modernists; Christians versus Jews; Protestant versus Catholic; white versus black. In this volume, Martin E. Marty tells the riveting story of how America has survived religious disturbances and culturally prospered from them.

He tells the story [of the 1920s and 1930s] with a verve seldom equaled and manages to condense in one volume the results of dozens of specialized monographs. . . . [It] bears the usual hallmarks of a Marty book: a smoothly flowing narrative, passages studded with suggestive insight inviting further research, and apt quotations that capture the gist of complicated issues. . . . [A] splendid book. . . . Deserves a wide readership and undoubtedly will receive it. -James H. Moorhead, Chicago Sunday Tribune

There is simply no better source, certainly none so engaging, for the interactions of religion and the larger culture in the interwar period. -Robert Booth Fowler, Journal of American History

[This book is] not merely a history of American religion, but what might better be called a religious history -David M. Kennedy, New York Times Book Review
