Sam Reimer is professor of sociology at Crandall University, author of Evangelicals and the Continental Divide: The Conservative Protestant Subculture in Canada and the United States, and co-author of A Culture of Faith: Evangelical Congregations in Canada.

"This book meets a real need and is a pioneering work in religious studies. It ought to have been written years ago. This is a truly exciting work. It presents a provocative argument that is certainly worth considering and is bound to provoke further research and discussions." Irving Hexham, Department of Religious Studies, University of Calgary "No work has done this kind of comparison between Evangelicals in the two countries. Reimer's data is unique in the depth of research that he has undertaken in the four locations, and the data gathered by others serves as a basis of comparison with the wider Evangelical and national populations. Reimer also integrates his data and its interpretation into a number of mutually reinforced theoretical models, including among others, globalization and new institutional models. Reimer is thus able to offer various explanations for the results that he finds. This book contributes meaningfully to the literature on North American Evangelicals and on the character and basis of transnational religious movements and groups. It is a valuable study." Peter Beyer, Classics and Religious Studies, University of Ottawa
