Hill's landmark work in southern religious history returns to print
updated and expanded - and compellingly relevant. In 1966, Samuel
S. Hill's Southern Churches in Crisis argued that southern
Protestantism, a cornerstone of white southern society and culture,
was shirking its moral duty by refusing to join in the fight for
racial justice. Hill predicted that the church was risking its
standing in southern society and that it would ultimately decline
in influence and power. A groundbreaking study at the time, Hill's
book helped establish southern religious history as a field of
scholarly inquiry. Three decades later, Southern Churches in Crisis
continues to be widely read, quoted, and cited. In Southern
Churches in Crisis Revisited, which reprints the 1966 text in full,
Hill reexamines his earlier predictions in an introductory essay
that also describes how the study of religion in the south has
become a major field of scholarly inquiry. Hill skillfully engages
his critics and revisers integrating new perspectives and recent
scholarship. He suggests new areas for exploration and provides a
selected bibliography of key studies in southern religious history
that have been published during the last three decades. In a second
essay entitled 'Thirty Years Later,' Hill contends that a new
crisis has emerged. He finds that the current dilemma, unlike the
externally driven crisis of the 1960s is strictly an internal
affair, initiated by the churches and related to doctrinal
orthodoxy. He concludes that the triumph of rational purity over
'the religion of the heart' has inaugurated an era in the South's
religious life that promises to produce major changes in the
storied relation of church and culture in this most visibly
religious section of the United States. Southern Churches in Crisis
Revisited will be of value to scholars and students interested in
the author's reexamination of this powerful and influential force
in Southern religion.
