About Us
About The Institute for the Study of American Evangelicals.....
Founded in 1982 by evangelical historians Mark A. Noll of Wheaton College and Nathan O. Hatch of the University of Notre Dame, the Institute for the Study of American Evangelicals serves as a center for research while functioning as a program of Wheaton College.
For its core support, the Institute relies partially upon endowment income. Most program-related funding orginates in grants from foundations such as the Lilly Endowment, Inc. and The Pew Charitable Trusts, as well as gifts from individual donors.
Conferences and conference-generated books have been one of the Institute's most important contributions. To date, the ISAE has been the driving force behind nearly thirty published volumes. Each academic conference and project results in a monograph or an edited volume of essays. To view a list of ISAE conference books click here.In addition to conferences, the ISAE has undertaken longer-term research projects that fund a portion of the work of several scholars. These projects have included studies about the impact of the foreign missions movement on North America, the financing of American evangelicalism, and most recently a study of American hymnody.
In addition to the projects we oversee, the ISAE publishes a quarterly newsletter. The Evangelical Studies Bulletin contains reviews of recent scholarship and news about recent publications, academic conferences, plus listings of sources of financial support for individual scholars.
Serving Wheaton College
The Institute offers seminars on American religious history for undergraduates and also for M.A. students. The Institute's lecture series brings distinguished scholars of American religious history to Wheaton for addresses open to the College and local community. Occasional Religion and American Culture Seminars provide a forum for Wheaton College faculty interested in religion in American life to present and discuss their work.Serving the Public at Large
Infoming the News Media: The Institute's staff members have penned articles and provided interviews for national magazines and newspapers (e.g., Time, New York times, Wall Street Journal, Chicago Tribune and many more), and routinely refer journalists to expert sources on any number of topics and issues.Assisting Religious Publishers The Institute regularly answers questions from editors and writers from evangelical magazines, such as Christianity Today, and serves as an important element linking publishers and authors in evangelical publishing networks.
Our Vision And Need
In addition to providing leadership in the study of evangelicals and informing the public, the ISAE seeks to support evangelical scholars from a variety of disciplines who seek to apply Christian truths to intellectual and cultural endeavors.In order to promote the evangelical intellectual enterprise, the officers at Wheaton College have established an endowment to insure a measure of continuing support for the Institute. To continue its efforts in promoting evangelical scholarship, the Institute needs to add to this endowment. We ask donors who acknowledge the need to work for Christ and His kingdom in evangelical scholarship to contribute generously to this fund. If you are interested in contributing financially to the ISAE, contact us at isae@wheaton.edu.
The ISAE is located on the first floor of Schell Hall.
