byDouglas L. Winiarski

Darkness Falls on the Land of Light examines experiencing Religious Awakenings in Eighteenth-Century New England, combining Douglas L.

Moving between close detail and context, the book explains the forces surrounding its subject and connects them to the wider field of religion.
