"As fine a historian as America now boasts."

The New Republic

Mark Noll, the Francis A. McAnaney Professor of History at the University of Notre Dame, is one of the most prolific and highly regarded historians in North America.

Noll is the author of many books, including America's God: From Jonathan Edwards to Abraham Lincoln (Oxford, 2002), The Scandal of the Evangelical Mind (Eerdmans, 1994), and most recently, God and Race in American Politics (Princeton, 2008). Scandal was featured in an Atlantic Monthly cover story "The Opening of the Evangelical Mind."

Noll is a graduate of Wheaton College (B.A, English), Trinity Evangelical Divinity School (M.A., Theology), and Vanderbilt University (Ph.D, History of Christianity). For 27 years he was on the faculty at Wheaton College, Illinois, where he taught in the departments of History and Theology as McManis Professor of Christian Thought. While at Wheaton, Noll also co-founded and directed the Institute for the Study of American Evangelicals.

In 1998, Noll inaugurated the Alonzo L. McDonald Family Professorship of Evangelical Theological Studies at Harvard Divinity School. In 2005, he was named by Time Magazine as one of the twenty-five most influential evangelicals in America. In 2006, he was awarded a National Humanities Medal. Since the Fall of 2006, Noll has been a faculty member in Department of History at the Notre Dame, where he replaced George Marsden as Notre Dame's Francis A. McAnaney Professor of History.
