Reviews
‘John Stackhouse’s fresh interpretation of modern Canadian evangelical Protestantism is especially welcome for its sprightly account of a religious tradition that is as neglected in Canadian scholarly literature as it is dynamic in many reaches of Canadian popular culture.’
Mark A. Noll, Wheaton College, author of A History of Christianity in the United States and Canada
‘….Canadian Evangelicalism in the Twentieth Century gives us a multi-windowed view of the evangelical landscape in the 20th century. His careful examination reminds us that this Christian community cannot be reduced to simplistic analysis or definitions…As an evangelical, I view this book as critical both of our self-understanding and for those puzzled by our concerns, strategies and idiosyncrasies. (The introduction defining evangelicals is worth the price itself.) Scholarly, helpful, very readable and pivotal, this book augments our understanding of Canada’s evangelical community this century.’
Brian C. Stiller, Executive Director, Evangelical Fellowship of Canada
‘This pioneering study by John Stackhouse takes its place in the growing body of first-rate scholarship exploring Canada’s religious past. Thoroughly researched, elegantly written, and provocatively argued, ti is sure to stand as a seminal work on the evangelical experience…’
Harry S. Stout, Berkley College, Yale University
