Contributions by Ryan L. Fletcher, Darren E. Grem, Paul Harvey,
Alicia Jackson, Ted Ownby, Otis W. Pickett, Arthur Remillard, Chad
Seales, and Randall J. StephensOver more than three decades of
teaching at the University of Mississippi, Charles Reagan Wilson's
research and writing transformed southern studies in key ways. This
volume pays tribute to and extends Wilson's seminal work on
southern religion and culture. Using certain episodes and moments
in southern religious history, the essays examine the place and
power of religion in southern communities and society. It emulates
Wilson's model, featuring both majority and minority voices from
archives and applying a variety of methods to explain the South's
religious diversity and how religion mattered in many arenas of
private and public life, often with life-or-death stakes. The
volume first concentrates on churches and ministers, and then
considers religious and cultural constructions outside formal
religious bodies and institutions. It examines the faiths expressed
via the region's fields, streets, homes, public squares,
recreational venues, roadsides, and stages. In doing so, this book
shows that Wilson's groundbreaking work on religion is an essential
part of southern studies and crucial for fostering deeper
understanding of the South's complicated history and culture.
