Summary

This book is an intriguing narrative of the interplay between American religion and patterns of American culture in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. R.

Author Biography

R. Laurence Moore is the Howard A. Newman Professor of American Studies / History and Chair of the American Studies Program at Cornell University.
