Faith and meaning in the southern uplands
Written by one of Appalachian religion's eloquent spokesmen, this book talks about a people devoted to and thoughtful about their religion. Supplemented by documents, such as sermons, testimonies, and articles of faith, it articulates Southern Upland views on basic issues of the human condition - faith, God, the world, the Word, and the devil.
