“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

“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
