Under the Big Top

Big Tent Revivalism and American Culture, 1885-1925

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book examines the immensely popular turn-of-the-twentieth-century big tent revivals. By showing how these revivals combined the Protestant ethic of salvation with the emerging consumer ethos, McMullen sheds light on the way in which the United States became the most consumer-driven and yet one of the most religious societies in the western world.
