Mark Noll Career
He is currently an American historian specializing in the history of Christianity in the United States. He holds the position of Research Professor of History at Regent College, having previously been Francis A. McAnaney Professor of History at the University of Notre Dame. Noll is a Reformed evangelical Christian and in 2005 was named by Time magazine as one of the twenty-five most influential evangelicals in America.
Noll is a prolific author whose works have received widespread appreciation in the academic community. The Scandal of the Evangelical Mind, a book about anti-intellectual trends within the American evangelical movement, received a lot of attention from both religious and secular media. In 2006, President George W. Bush presented him with the National Humanities Medal in the Oval Office. Noll, along with historians like George Marsden, Nathan O. Hatch, and David Bebbington, has made significant contributions to the world’s knowledge of evangelical beliefs and attitudes, both past and present. He has made many academics and laypeople more aware of the complexities that come with the issue, “Is America a Christian nation?”
In 1994, he signed Evangelicals and Catholics Together, an ecumenical declaration that called for more collaboration between evangelical and Catholic leaders in the United States. Noll was a member of the Department of History at Notre Dame from 2006 to 2016. He took over as the Francis A. McAnaney Professor of History at Notre Dame after George Marsden retired. According to Noll, the move to Notre Dame allowed him to focus on fewer subjects than he could at Wheaton.
