Hildebrand has written a thought-provoking, well-documented book analyzing the manner in which Methodist ministers from the Civil War to the end of Reconstruction presented the gospel to African Americans in the South and how that presentation affected the activities of blacks in both church and society. . . . A fine scholarly contribution, displaying sensitivity and precision of research. <br>--Sandy Dwayne Martin, The Journal of Southern History

The Times Were Strange and Stirring demonstrates the significance and relevance of church history to the study of the diverse reaction of ex-slaves to the new possibilities that freedom opened to them and to the realities of the postbellum South. -John R. McKivigan, West Virginia University This book fills an important gap in the history of the black church, reconstruction, and southern history. Hildebrand makes a significant contribution to our understanding of black religious history during the last quarter of the nineteenth century. -Clarence E. Walker, University of California, Davis
