The Fellowship Independent Baptist Church located in Page County, Virginia, in the valley just west of Shenandoah National Park, is given a very thorough treatment in this extraordinary book. The author, Jeff Titon, worked with this community for more than ten years to complete the impressive first edition of this book, a record album of its music, and a film about it. Then he kept in touch for three more decades to create this second edition of the book! Don’t tell me you want to understand “fundamentalist” religion – or regional religion - without reading this book. It is that essential. Be sure to check out the bibliographic note above – 549 pages, 76 photos, tables, figures, 5 Appendices! The new 25-page afterword has its own new two-page bibliography. Jeff Titon is Professor Emeritus at Brown University.
