| Summary: | In Places of Faith, Scheitle and Finke introduce readers to what they consider to be some of the most distinctive and important features of religion in America through an account of their 5-week, 6,904 mile road trip in a rented Dodge Charger. Along with traveling in style, the authors are interested in offering a portrait of religion in America that highlights its rich diversity, “give[s] life to otherwise lifeless statistics, and bring[s] far-removed historical accounts into closer view” (ix). In my estimation, this accessibly written and visually engaging book accomplishes these objectives. |
