Transatlantic Religion

Reviews / Votes

"The editors and contributors to Transatlantic Religion have crafted a volume that admirably historicizes the historical particularity of the nineteenth-century religious world, restoring a large number of today little-known theologians and religious actors to the immediacy of the contexts they shared with figures whose names have remained more familiar to posterity." - Joshua Bennett, University of Oxford, in: Renaissance Quarterly, Vol. 77, No. 1 (Spring 2024), pp. 309-310

"This excellent collection is a pioneering work in transatlantic history of theology. A brilliant team of international scholars has been brought together to engage in detailed study of a variety of networks of cultural transmission, many of which have never been investigated before. As well as crossing national boundaries the book also crosses the confessional divides that have often been artificially imposed on the history of theology. It offers an invitation to all historians of theology to think beyond borders as they address the long-term history of the globalization of religious thought." - Mark D. Chapman, Professor of the History of Modern Theology, University of Oxford

"This is a ground-breaking work of scholarship by a group of top-tier scholars. Anyone interested in thinking about modern intellectual and religious history in transatlantic terms ought to consult it and will find it rewarding." - Thomas Albert Howard, Professor of Humanities and History, Valparaiso University

"This book demonstrates better than any other single volume to date how very important for the history of Christianity in the United States those [transatlantic] connections, links, and relationships have been." - Mark A. Noll (from the Foreword).

"A new generation of young historians with a keen interest in religious matters has begun to draw a new and more accurate picture of 'Transatlantic Religion.'" - Hartmut Lehmann (from the Epilogue).
