Holy Food: How Cults, Communes, and Religious Movements Influenced What We Eat—An American History by Christina Ward (review)
Imperial Zions: Religion, Race, and Family in the American West and the Pacific
Art, Religious Memory, and Mormon Polygamy
What happens when part of the religious history a person believes in turns out to be incorrect? A dissonance is created that must be addressed through new interpretations of past, present, and possibly the future. This article explores early indicators of a reinvented "chain of memory" unfolding in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints—a faith that is itself grounded in a concept of historical restoration—due to a new public understandi…
Cowboy Christians
This book examines the long history of cowboy Christians in the American West, including the cowboy church movement of the present day and closely related ministries in racetrack and rodeo settings. Early chapters move from the postbellum period through the twentieth century, tracing religious life among cowboys on the range as well as projected in popular imagery and the media. The central chapters focus on the modern cowboy church and examine i…
Cowboys and Religion before Cowboy Church
Chapter 2 examines what is known about the religious lives of cowboys prior to the existence of organized forms of cowboy Christianity. Moving from the end of the Civil War through the mid-twentieth century, this chapter traces the twists and turns of cowboy life, both real and imagined, and explores various ways that religion has intersected with that history. It begins by outlining the work of cowboys in the second half of the nineteenth centur…
The Cowboy Church as a Man’s Church
Chapter 5 examines issues of gender dynamics in the cowboy church movement. Church leaders use simplistic notions of gender, in combination with assumptions about the cowboy culture, and conclude that cowboy church needs to be a “masculine” environment to succeed. This chapter explores how these concepts are perpetuated and what “masculine church” means in practical terms. It also considers some of the more complicated and contradictory views hel…
Women in New Religions, by Laura Vance.
Laura Vance’s Women in New Religions serves as a short introduction to the ways that femininity and women’s roles are constructed and performed in a sampling of “religions that emerge and exist in tension with their social context” (9). Sandwiched between substantive introductory and concluding chapters are case studies of Latter-day Saints, Seventh-day Adventists, The Family International, and Wicca. Each chapter provides historical background t…

Ethical Problems in New Religion Field Research
Scholars studying living religious communities confront myriad questions about all levels of appropriate social interaction, and fortunately some lessons from the disciplines of sociology and anthropology help us navigate the work. However, those engaging in research on New Religions may have added burdens, as the marginalized communities we study may be further complicated by factors such as exclusivity or defensiveness, among others. As we work…
