| Summary: | Those who are curious about “American evangelicals” may enjoy reading Corwin Smidt's book, American Evangelicals Today. This may be particularly true for persons who wish to grasp a general overview of the social history of American evangelicalism via the “traditional scholars.” Based on three surveys (primarily the Pew Religious Landscape Survey of 2007, but also including the Henry Institute National Survey on Religion and Public Life and the Fifth National Survey of Religion and Politics), Smidt describes extensively various beliefs and behaviors that are associated with American evangelicals., Perhaps, the greatest strength of this book is its comparative data concerning particular demographic shifts (e.g., 83 and 86). |
