And They All Sang Hallelujah!

I read this for a book group and thought it would be a dull academic book. Instead, its insights and well written history of a period of American religious history were accessible, easy to read. Although the premises are thought provoking, they are not hard to access.And They All Sang Hallelujah: Plain-Folk Campmeeting Religion 1800-1845
