The Rise of Liberal Religion: Book Culture and American Spirituality in the Twentieth Century
Hedstrom, Matthew S. (Assistant Professor of American Studies and Religious Studies, Assistant Professor of American Studies and Religious Studies, University of Virginia, Bristol, RI)
In The Rise of Liberal Religion Matthew Hedstrom tells the story of how, beginning in the 1920s, American religious leaders joined forces with the publishing industry in an attempt to form a ''spiritual center''-a set of widely accepted religious ideas, practices, and presuppositions that would hold together a fragmenting society, create new markets for books, and maintain the privileged status of these arbiters in American religious discourse.
