Between the Times: The Travail of the Protestant Establishment in America, 1900-

Description: Between the Times by William R. Hutchison During the first sixty years of the last century, the so-called mainline Protestant denominations in the USA were compelled to accommodate to the influences of diverse religions and growing secularization. Here twelve historians examine the American Protestant establishment and its response to the growing pluralism of the times. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description In this book, twelve historians examine the nature of the American Protestant establishment and its response to the growing pluralism of this century. The authors conclude that the period surveyed forms a distinct epoch in the evolution of American Protestantism. The days when Protestant cultural authority could be taken for granted were over, but a new era in which religious pluralism would be widely accepted had not yet arrived.

Discovering America William R. Hutchison; Index. Review William Hutchison and his collaborators offer a rich and stimulating series of essays. Well-crafted chapters with ample footnotes (and references to major secondary studies) serve the reader well. The individual elements of the book are sensitively situated by Hutchisons deft introductions and conclusions. Between the Times will stimulate serious students as well as seasoned scholars ... It also goes without saying that the book should promote reflection within religious communities. Between the Times not only defines an era; it also explores a central transformation in twentieth-century American culture. John F. Wilson, Princeton University Between the Times is a splendid book! ... Hutchison and his colleagues fill a hole that has existed for decades but been noticed only in recent years. Phillip E. Hammond, University of California at Santa Barbara The central themes are critical to understanding what happened to American mainstream Protestant churches in the 20th century ... The essays offer a fascinating kaleidoscope of perspectives on aspects of this Protestant establishment and its travail in maintaining authority ... Facile generalizations about the importance of the 1960s will have to be modified by these thoughtful reassessments of the Protestant establishment at its zenith. John N. Muldar, The Presbyterian Outlook I consider this a pioneering and already landmark achievement.
