Encyclopedia of Religion in the South

by Samuel S. Hill (Editor)

Treating Southern Catholicism in functional and symbolic terms and relating it to the culture of the region, this study indeed represents a pioneering effort, a comprehensive examination of what it was like to be a Catholic in the slaveholding, predominantly Protestant South. In the editor's introduction (Miller) and afterword (Wakelyn), they provide an incisive overview of a heretofore neglected field.
