"It is to the great credit of Matthew Avery Sutton, an American historian who has spent the past seven years thinking about the end of the world , that we now have a concise, convincing and eminently readable account of the rise of the US evangelical movement, from what he scribes as provocative outsiders to consummate insiders . A valuable, timely and often entertaining account ... -- Sunday Times
Prof Sutton brings to these strange episodes of American culture a proper degree of attentiveness and patience, with only a rare glint of irony breaking through. Irish Times
"Sutton tells this story well. His key achievement is that he sticks to his brief, of showing that premillennialism has been central to modern Evangelicalism, and avoids narrating every aspect of the culture wars. -- Times Literary Supplement
It is a fascinating study of the development of the apocalyptic or pre-millenialist strand of evangelical Christianity in the United States over the last hundred years. Sutton has produced one of those rare books that is both academically rigorous and a very good read. The subject matter invites ridicule, but he treats it respectfully, while frequently adopting a wryly humorous tone. The book draws on very extensive research and benefits further from numerous illustrations, including rarely seen cartoons from 20th century evangelical magazines. -- LSE Review of Books
