Popular religion rarely expresses itself in the artifacts of
high culture. In this book, Lippy approaches the study of popular
religion by asking how ordinary people have gone about the process
of being religious in America. Along the way, he examines popular
religious periodicals, newspapers, novels, diaries, devotional
materials, hymnals, promotional materials for revivals and camp
meetings, religious tracts, as well as vernacular art and
architecture, other artifacts, and, especially in the 20th century,
radio, film, and television. He avoids the traditional focus on
religious movements and institutions, choosing instead to
illuminate the cultural impact of what people in America think and
do when they are being religious by highlighting aspects of private
life.
