From the rear cover

"In this dazzling book, Chidester moves effortlessly and insightfully between the serious and solemn and the playful and humorous. The case studies are so very fresh and interesting, and he brings a wonderfully nuanced eye to the material."--Edward T. Linenthal, author of The Unfinished Bombing

"Chidester's analysis of popular religion and culture is the most extensive and penetrating that exists."--Wade Clark Roof, author of Spiritual Marketplace

"This book is impressively wide-ranging in the scope of its discussion, adding a global dimension for a vantage point that makes it quite unique."--Bruce Forbes, coeditor of Religion and Popular Culture in America
