Dr. Anderson specializes in the history of the American West and American religious history. He earned a doctorate in the latter subject from Graduate Theological Union and spent 2002–03 studying at the Buffalo Bill Historical Center in Cody, Wyoming.
Dr. Anderson is the 2003 recipient of a Western History Association award for the best essay of the year on religious history in the American West. In 1994, he won a similar award from the Presbyterian Historical Society for the best published article on American Presbyterian and Reformed history. He is co-author of Pilgrim Progression: The Protestant Experience in California, and his articles and book reviews have been published in Western Historical Quarterly, Religion and American Culture, and Fides et Historia, as well as encyclopedias of the Great Plains and American West. He has also presented papers at the American Society of Church History and the American Academy of Religion.
Dr. Anderson teamed with other religion scholars on a comprehensive and comparative study of the impact regions have on religion’s role in American public life, which resulted in eight geographically based books. He has also served as president of the Conference on Faith and History and is a member of the State Nomination Review Committee for the National Register of Historic Places.
