Cowboy Christians examines the long history of cowboy Christians in
the American West, focusing on the cowboy church movement of the
present day and closely related ministries in racetrack and rodeo
settings. Early chapters move from the postbellum period through
the twentieth century, tracing religious life among cowboys on the
range as well as its representation in popular imagery and the
media. The central chapters focus on the modern cowboy church and
examine its structure, theology, and method of perpetuation, and
explore future challenges the institution may face, such as its
relegation of women to subordinate participant roles. The final
chapter considers present day incarnations of rodeo and racetrack
ministries as examples of the cowboy Christian proclivity for
blending the secular and the sacred in leisure environments. Woven
throughout the text is a discussion of the religious significance
of the cowboy church movement, particularly relative to
twenty-first century evangelical Protestantism. Marie W. Dallam
demonstrates that the cowboy church's antecedents and influences
include muscular Christianity, the Jesus movement, and new paradigm
church methodology. With interdisciplinary research that blends
history and sociology, Cowboy Christians draws on interviews with
leaders from cowboy churches, traveling rodeo ministries, and
chaplains who serve horse racing and bull riding environments, as
well as incorporating Dallam's own experiences as a participant
observer.
