Fourteen essays written by distinguished reli- gious studies scholars illuminate the intricacies of organized religion in South Carolina. The first comprehensive appraisal of the major denomina- tions, topics, and issues that have defined the religious history of this Bible Belt state, Religion in South Carolina sketches an overview of reli- gion in the region and then looks specifically at the traditions that have forged South Carolina's reli- gious culture. Individual essays treat the evangeli- cal traditions of the Baptists and the Methodists, the liturgical churches of the Episcopalians and Lutherans, the Reformed denominations of the Presbyterians and Congregationalists, and the Roman Catholic, Jewish, African-American, and Pentecostal congregations of the Palmetto State. Other essays examine the ways religion has influ- enced South Carolina's political and social life, pluralism's importance in the state, and the trends that promise to characterize South Carolina reli- gion in the future. 200.97570872498913 Transformatio Library Bandung Theological Seminary 200.9757 Lip r E08005110 Non Fiction 200.9757 Lip r 41eEHyhPuWL._SX342_SY445_.jpg 49934 2014-12-11 08:36:43 2024-11-09 08:46:31 machine generated
