Southern Churches in Crisis Revisited

To the full text of his original 1966 warning that southern Protestants must join the fight for racial justice or decline in influence, Hill (religion, U. of Florida) adds an introductory essay. There he reexamines his predictions, describes how the study of religion in the south has become a major scholarly field, engages his critics and revisers, integrates new perspectives, and suggests new areas for exploration. He also updates the bibliographic references. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
