| Summary: | This book is too long. At 423 pages of main text, plus a preface and an appendix, plus 90 pages of information-filled notes, it tells us both more and less than we want to know about the public witness of the United Methodist Church and other mainline Protestant denominations, from the 1960s to the beginning of this millennium., We get more than we want because Tipton has seemingly interviewed everybody and has chosen to include detailed descriptions of what they all told him. He traces the roots and growth of intra-denominational political conflicts, primarily among United Methodists, not quite blow by blow but certainly step by step and view by view. Various parts of this will interest diverse readers, but few will follow it in toto. |
