Southern Missions: The Religion of the American South in Global Perspective

Charles Reagan Wilson

0/5 ( ratings)

Southern Missions places the religious history of the American South in a global context. The global connections of southern religion reflect a tradition within the American South that historians have failed to examine. This study sweeps from the diversity of Christian and Jewish groups in the colonial South to the contemporary migration of ethnic groups and their religious traditions previously little known in the South. Perhaps most notably, gender emerges as a key analytical category for understanding the global reach of religion in the American South.

--Philip Jenkins, Professor of History and Religious Studies, Pennsylvania State University
