Shenandoah Religion by Stephen L Longenecker
Calling worldliness the mainstream and otherworldliness, outsidernesss, Shenandoah Religion describes the transition certain denominations made in becoming mainstream and the resistance of others in maintaining distinctive dress, manners, social relations, economics, and apolitical viewpoints.
Informative and well written, this book analyzes 'outsiderness' as a theologically justified position among a handful of Protestant traditions in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley... Recommended. General readers, undergraduates, and graduate students. -- CHOICE
