"This is crucial book for understanding how fundamentalism built a vitalcounter-culture during the 1930s and 1940s. Their efforts provided the base forthe emergence of the broader evangelicalism of the Billy Graham era and forlater fundamentalism. Carpenter is the leading authority on this subject anddoes a superb job in depicting it."--George Marsden, Francis A. McAnaneyProfessor of History, University of Notre Dame, and author ofThe Outrageous Ideaof Christian Scholarship, "Carpenter's book is a carefully researched study of why and howfundamentalist Christians have been able to prove earlier notices of theirmovement's demise to have been greatly exaggerated."--The Chicago Tribune, "With fresh evidence and a nuanced interprative model, Joel Carpenter's detailed social and cultural history offers a powerful reassessment of American fundamentalism, one that topples the easy stereotypes while giving color to the movement and flesh to the lives of itsparticipants...Carpenter's work is significant not only in the circles of evangelical historiography but far beyond them as well and represents an outstanding addition to our understanding of America's religious past and present."--Church History, "With fresh evidence and a nuanced interprative model, Joel Carpenter'sdetailed social and cultural history offers a powerful reassessment of Americanfundamentalism, one that topples the easy stereotypes while giving color to themovement and flesh to the lives of its participants...Carpenter's work issignificant not only in the circles of evangelical historiography but far beyondthem as well and represents an outstanding addition to our understanding ofAmerica's religious past and present."--Church History, "Carpenter's portrait of the lost years of American fundamentalism is compelling religious and cultural history."--Publisher's Weekly, "Carpenter's work easily ranks as the premier analysis of American Fundamentalism from the 1920s to the rise of Billy Graham in the 1950s.

Sit back and watcha master artist at work."--Grant Wacker, The Divinity School, Duke University, "...Carpenter's book is one of the best we have on fundamentalism. He reminds us that, while it is tempting to vilify fundamentalists, they represent a genuine religious tradition whose staying power and influence demand serious attention."--Bruce Hindamarsh, Books and Culture, "Carpenter's book is a carefully researched study of why and how fundamentalist Christians have been able to prove earlier notices of their movement's demise to have been greatly exaggerated."--The Chicago Tribune, "...Carpenter's book is one of the best we have on fundamentalism.

Synopsis
By the end of the 1920s, fundamentalism in America was intellectually bankrupt and publicly disgraced. Bitterly humiliated by the famous Scopes "monkey trial," this once respected movement retreated from the public forum and seemed doomed to extinction. Yet fundamentalism not only survived, but in the 1940s it reemerged as a thriving and influential public movement. And today it is impossible to read a newspaper or watch cable TV without seeing the presence of fundamentalism in American society. In Revive Us Again , Joel A. Carpenter illuminates this remarkable transformation, exploring the history of American fundamentalism from 1925 to 1950, the years when, to non-fundamentalists, the movement seemed invisible. Skillfully blending painstaking research, telling anecdotes, and astute analysis, Carpenter--a scholar who has spent twenty years studying American evangelicalism--brings this era into focus for the first time. He reveals that, contrary to the popular opinion of the day, fundamentalism was alive and well in America in the late 1920s, and used its isolation over the next two decades to build new strength from within. The book describes how fundamentalists developed a pervasive network of organizations outside of the church setting and quietly strengthened the movement by creating their own schools and organizations, many of which are prominent today, including Fuller Theological Seminary and the publishing and radio enterprises of the Moody Bible Institute. Fundamentalists also used youth movements and missionary work and, perhaps most significantly, exploited the burgeoning mass media industry to spread their message, especially through the powerful new medium of radio. Indeed, starting locally and growing to national broadcasts, evangelical preachers reached millions of listeners over the airwaves, in much the same way evangelists preach through television today. All this activity received no publicity outside of fundamentalist channels until Billy Graham burst on the scene in 1949. Carpenter vividly recounts how the charismatic preacher began packing stadiums with tens of thousands of listeners daily, drawing fundamentalism firmly back into the American consciousness after twenty years of public indifference. Alongside this vibrant history, Carpenter also offers many insights into fundamentalism during this period, and he describes many of the heated internal debates over issues of scholarship, separatism, and the role of women in leadership. Perhaps most important, he shows that the movement has never been stagnant or purely reactionary. It is based on an evolving ideology subject to debate, and dissension: a theology that adapts to changing times. Revive Us Again is more than an enlightening history of fundamentalism. Through his reasoned, objective approach to a topic that is all too often reduced to caricature, Carpenter brings fresh insight into the continuing influence of the fundamentalist movement in modern America, and its role in shaping the popular evangelical movements of today., By the end of the 1920s, fundamentalism in America was intellectually bankrupt and publicly disgraced.
