Book Review

Religion and the Culture of Print in Modern America. Ed. by Charles L. Cohen and Paul S. Boyer. (Madison: University of Wisconsin Press, 2008. xx, 369 pp. Cloth, $65.00, ISBN 978-0-299-22570-4. Paper, $29.95, ISBN 978-0-299-22574-2.)

This book originated in papers presented at a 2004 conference sponsored by the Center for the History of Print Culture in Modern America at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, and focuses principally on Protestantism in postbellum and modern America. The history of religious print culture in the United States is a new interdisciplinary field, one derived from the history of the book, as developed in good measure by David D. Hall, and from religious history, as found in the seminal work of Sidney Ahlstrom. Part 1 includes essays by the editors, one on editions of the Bible, the other on mass-market paperbacks, indicating the parameters of the volume.
