Title: Excellent coverage but very heavy reading
Product review: I found AMERICA'S GOD to be excellent scholarship but very heavy reading. You really need to know the subject area from other authors or some of Dr. Noll's other texts before you try to wade through all the detail here. I am working on a history of Christian faith before and during the American Civil War, and I found his chapters on the practice of biblical interpretation during this era added to my knowledge. He also has some sweeping summaries near the end of his text that highlight all the major trends of the era. Worth the time and the cost of reading.
