About Professor Noll
Notre Dame | Time Magazine | Wiki
Long a respected historian among evangelical scholars, Noll's stature has risen in recent years. His book America's God: From Jonathan Edwards to Abraham Lincoln was named "the most significant work of American historical scholarship" in 2002 by The Atlantic.
His 1994 book, The Scandal of the Evangelical Mind, has become shorthand for the ongoing conversation about evangelical anti-intellectualism, says John Wilson, editor of Books & Culture, a sister publication of Christianity Today. America's God however raised Noll's visibility beyond evangelical academic circles. It was one of the most important historical books in years, says Wilson, who called it Noll's magnum opus. In 2005, Time magazine named Noll one of America's 25 most influential evangelicals.
In 2006 Noll was awarded a National Humanities Medal in the Oval Office by President George W. Bush. Prior to joining hte University of Notre Dame, Noll was a professor of religion and history at Wheaton College for 27 years where he co-founded the Institute for the Study of American Evangelicals. He also served as visiting teacher at Harvard Divinity School, University of Chicago Divinity School, Westminster Theological Seminary and Regent College of Vancouver, B.C.
