Christianity in Appalachia by Bill J. LeonardCall Number: BR535 .C45 (Available at Hazard and Lees Campus Appalachian Collection)
Profiling the prominent Christian traditions in southern Appalachia, this book brings together contributions by twenty scholars who have long studied the religious practices found in the region’s cities, small towns, and rural communities. These authors provide insights into not only the independent mountain churches that are strongly linked to local customs but also the mainline and other religious bodies that have a significant presence in Appalachia but are not strictly associated with it.
