Book Review

Religion in the American South: Protestants and Others in History and Culture. Ed. by Beth Barton Schweiger and Donald G. Mathews. (Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina Press, 2004. viii, 340 pp. Cloth, $59.95, ISBN 0-8078-2906-4. Paper, $19.95, ISBN 0-8078-5570-7.)

Through a combination of six essays based on original scholarship and four essays centered on historiography, this collection redraws familiar boundaries in the study of southern religion. The essayists redirect our attention from the meetinghouse to the South's streets, homes, and storefront churches. Consequently, attention to religious experience shifts away from sermons, clergy memoirs, and prescriptive literature to diaries, music, and Sunday dinners. Providing more than a study of popular piety, these authors seek to push the interpretive boundaries of southern religion, probing the ways in which religion shaped as well as reflected the South's social order and relationships from the colonial era to the present.
