The Handbook of Contemporary Christianity in the United States is a one-volume examination of Christianity in its role, contributions, and embattled engagements with the contemporary culture of the postmodern United States. While Christianity has been a sustaining force and dominant storyline of the historical foundations of America, obvious social, political, and scientific inroads have lessened its influence and altered the issues considered. The handbook explores the strengths and weaknesses of the Christian faith and traditions in the United States and its rich and textured history with a discernable eye toward how the message, strategies, and initiatives of Christianity has adapted to contemporary American life.
Mark A. Lamport is professor at graduate theological schools in Colorado, Arizona, Virginia, Indiana, Belgium, The Netherlands, and Portugal. He is coeditor with George Thomas Kurian of Encyclopedia of Christianity in the Global South, Encyclopedia of Christianity in the United States (“Notable Book of 2016” by Christianity Today) and Encyclopedia of Christian Education (winner, Booklist Editors’ Choice: Adult Books); coeditor with Mitri Raheb of The Rowman & Littlefield Handbook of Christianity in the Middle East; and editor of Encyclopedia of Martin Luther and the Reformation.
