This question is for Donnie – I need the names of some recommended books for this page of my site on the Great Awakening. I thought you’d be just the person to ask.
Mark A. Noll, America?s God: From Jonathan Edwards to Abraham Lincoln (New York: Oxford University Press, 2002). Gewehr, Wesley M., The Great Awakening in Virginia, 1740-1790, 2nd ed. (Gloucester, Massachusetts: Peter Smith, 1965). David Harlan, The Clergy and the Great Awakening in New England (Ann Arbor: UMI Research Press, 1980). Martin E. Marty, Righteous Empire: The Protestant Experience in America (New York: The Dial Press, 1970). William Gribbin, The Churches Militant: The War of 1812 and American Religion (New Haven and London: Yale University Press, 1973). Alice Baldwin, The New England Clergy and the American Revolution (New York: Frederick Ungar Publishing Co., 1958). Gaustad, Edwin Scott, The Great Awakening in New England (Gloucester, Massachusetts: Peter Smith, 1965). Jon Butler, Becoming America: The Revolution before 1776 (Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 2000). Heimert, Alan, Religion and the American Mind: From the Great Awakening to the Revolution (Cambridge, Massachusetts: Harvard University Press, 1966). James West Davidson, The Logic of Millennial Thought: Eighteenth-Century New England (New Haven and London: Yale University Press 1977). Suzanne Geissler, Jonathan Edwards to Aaron Burr, Jr.: From the Great Awakening To Democratic Politics (New York: The Edwin Mellon Press, 1981). Frank Lambert, Inventing the Great Awakening (Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1999). This is enough to chew on for awhile I suppose. 😀
I’ll have more on AcademicHistory.org in the coming weeks that you can download and read……pending JSTOR permits it (which I emailed them and they didn’t bother to email back, so we’ll see). 😀
