American Catholic Experience: Theology by Jay P. Dolan
M John E Rotelle. Come and See Brendan Freeman.
A History from Colonial Times to the Present. Catholicism has had a profound and lasting influence on the shape, the meaning, and the course of American history. Now, in the first book to reflect the new communal and social awakening which emerged from Vatican Council II, here is a vibrant and compelling history of the American Catholic experience—one that will surely become the standard volume for this decade, and decades to come.
Spanning nearly five hundred years, the narrative eloquently describes the Catholic experience from the arrival of Columbus and the other European explorers to the present day. It sheds fascinating new light on the work of the first vanguard of missionaries, and on the religious struggles and tensions of the early settlers.
We watch Catholicism as it spread across the New World, and see how it transformed—and was transformed by—the land and its people. We follow the evolution of the urban ethnic communities and learn about the vital contributions of the immigrant church to Catholicism.

Mar 23, Maggie rated it liked it Shelves: Reads like a collection of college essays- repeats itself A LOT. Obviously leans and has a very dated view of JPII in the last two pages, but it's interesting to see a contemporary look at Vatican II. Jan 06, Bob Bellamy rated it liked it. Impressive in scope, Dolan's book covers a wealth of material. Oftentimes, the author seems to prescribe rather than describe. His thesis of an American Catholic Church returning to a maybe-non-existent republican interlude of Church history fails in multiple ways.
His discussion of immigrants, though, is particularly strong and he does provide interesting and good information. While I stand very much apart from the author in conclusions, I do commend him for his work. Aug 01, Grace rated it it was ok. Dolan wrote his history by topic rather than strict chronology. As a result, time jumps around quite a bit and certain people or events are treated multiple times under different sections.
