Religion in the American South : Protestants and others in history and culture

The authors discuss religion in the American South across three centuries, from the 1700s to the era of the civil rights movement. The study complicates 'southern religion' geographically, chronologically, & thematically & challenges the interpretive hegemony of the Bible Belt
