The Democratization of American Christianity
Nathan O. Hatch
This book explores how American Christianity was democratized in the early days of the US, giving common people more power on the religious scene. Hatch examines five movements that emerged in the early 19th century, including the Christian and Baptist movements, showing how they offered visions of individual potential and aspiration to the unschooled and unsophisticated. This prize-winning book offers a groundbreaking perspective on American religious history.

There is going to be a huge amount of analysis about ‘evangelicalism’—from both inside and outside—I don’t think we can avoid reading up on our American evangelical history. A stellar book is "The Democratization of American Christianity" by Nathan Hatch. – source
