Southern crossroads perspectives on religion and culture

Conser, Walter H. (Added Author). Payne, Rodger M. (Rodger Milton) (Added Author).

Summary: "The South has always been one of the most distinctive regions of the United States, with its own set of traditions and a turbulent history. Although often associated with cotton, hearty food, and rich dialects, the South is also noted for its strong sense of religion, which has significantly shaped its history. Southern Crossroads: Perspectives on Religion and Culture takes a broad, interdisciplinary approach that explores the intersection of religion and various aspects of southern life."--Jacket.
