| Summary | "A History of American Christianity" by Leonard Woolsey Bacon is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work provides a comprehensive overview of the evolution of Christian religious practices and institutions in America, detailing the various influences and events that shaped its development from the time of the discovery of the New World through the colonial period and beyond. The opening of the book discusses the divine providence surrounding the discovery of America, arguing that the timing was key in ensuring that Christianity was brought to the New World at a moment that would avoid the corruption of the medieval church influences. Bacon points out that significant spiritual revival in Spain, characterized by reformative zeal and the establishment of influential religious orders, fostered the missionary efforts that sought to convert the indigenous populations. This portion sets the stage for examining the complexities of Spanish, French, and later English evangelization efforts, hinting at the intricate interplay of faith, politics, and cultural exchanges that would characterize American Christianity's unfolding narrative.
