Books by George M. (Francis A. McAnaney Professor of History Marsden

Originally published in 1980, Fundamentalism and American Culture has long been considered a classic in religious history, and to this day remains unsurpassed. For this new edition, Marsden will add a chapter exploring the changes in American fundamentalism since the book's original publication, including evangelicals' extraordinary growth in political prominence.

Only a century ago, almost all state universities held compulsory chapel services, and some required Sunday church attendance as well. Today the influence of religion in the intellectual and cultural life of America's preeminent colleges and universities has all but vanished. Marsden explores how, and why, these dramatic changes occurred.
