Coffman highlights women and men from a range of traditions and shows how, throughout these events, Christians endeavored to discern what it meant to live faithfully in the diverse and rapidly changing place that became the United States.
The Turning Points are as varied as the movements they track, including a naval battle, a revival, a schism, a court case, an outpouring of the Spirit, an act of terrorism, the election of a bishop, and the election of a president.
Elesha Coffman tells the story of Christianity in the United States by focusing on 13 key Events over four centuries of history.
This engaging introduction provides a brisk and lively yet deeply researched survey of these intertwined forces from the colonial period to the present.
