Robert Bruce Mullin. The Puritan as Yankee: A Life of Horace Bushnell. (Library of Religious Biography.) Grand Rapids, Mich.: William B. Eerdmans. 2002. Pp. xiv, 296. $21.00.

This general introduction to the life and work of Horace Bushnell (1802–1876) is now the place to start for students and other nonspecialists. Written by Robert Bruce Mullin, it offers the most accessible and up-to-date account of Bushnell's life. Mullin has written several other books, on American Episcopalians, Protestant liberals, and, most recently, Miracles and the Modern Religious Imagination (1996). Widely recognized as an expert in what used to be called American church history, he is a diligent scholar and a seasoned wordsmith, one well suited to contribute a new biography of Bushnell. 1
      Mullin's book takes part in Eerdmans' award-winning "Library of Religious Biography," coedited by Mark Noll, Nathan O. Hatch, and Allen Guelzo. Earlier biographies in this series include Harry Stout's life of George Whitefield (1991), Edwin Gaustad's life of Thomas Jefferson (1996) and Guelzo's life of Abrahan Lincoln (1999). Without exception, these books are exceedingly well written and offer compelling interpretations of the religious lives of their subjects. . . .
