Reviews
In the spirit of true collaborative research, O'Foran has created a wonderful portrait of a local community. . . . [The book] is not a narrative about how a community was victimized, but rather a story about that community's continued vitality. -- Journal of Folklore Research At once respectful, thoughtful, and disarming in terms of how African American local dialect has been used in oral tradition in the past. . . . Useful for future studies of Alabama, black folklore, and American religious history in general. -- Alabama Review Explores the power of oral narrative, through thoughtful fieldwork and presentation, to promote understanding between those inside and outside the church community. -- American Catholic Studies Newsletter Succeeds in introducing the reader to this previously undocumented community. -- Journal of Southern History Provides useful insight into the religious thinking of numerous American Christians who reside outside this nation's major urban centers. -- Anglican and Episcopal History
