(2014) This is a bird's-eye intellectual history of American evangelicalism. Worthen argues that its history exposes a crisis (crises?) of authority, in searches for answers on faith vs. reason; relationship to Jesus; and public faith. Not sure I followed the grand argument, and am unsure that it applies uniquely to evangelicals. But I loved the history, which filled gaps and connected dots for ex-evangelical me

#BookSpin and #DoubleSpin reads for August: an academic work on the American evangelical movement; and a decidedly unacademic mystery involving my favorite detectives ever.

Thanks @TheAromaofBooks !

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!!! 2y

"For the director trailed plumes of emerald dust and behind her the nature of the world was changing, filling with a brightness, the rain losing its depth, its darkness. The thickness of the layers of the rain getting lost, taken away, no longer there.

The border was coming to the Southern Reach."

True story of a manhunt in the mountains of Montana. Modern day western sheriff tracks kidnapper and murderer for months. Shows how different law enforcement is in the rural west.
