American Christianity: The Continuing Revolution (Discovering America)

American Christianity is a thought-provoking book that explores the diverse forms of Christianity in America, from traditional to evangelical, Pentecostal, social-action churches, megachurches, and apocalyptic churches.

The author argues that American Christianity is always happening and needs to happen, with radical and unpredictable change being one of its few dependable features.

The book traces the evolution of both Catholic and mainline Protestant churches, as well as uniquely American movements like Mormons, Seventh-day Adventists, and Jehovah's Witnesses.

It sheds new light on controversial issues such as political involvement, worship style and substance, and the constant expectation of God's intervention.

This book is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the complex and dynamic nature of American Christianity.
