MCMULLEN, J., Under the Big Top. Big Tent Revivalism and American Culture, 1885-1925. Oxford University Press, 2015. 248p. Hardback. In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Americans loved circuses and freak shows. They also loved big tent revivals. In this fascinating and well-researched book, McMullen carefully demonstrated how the United States' largest revivals and most popular evangelists, working out of tents, tabernacles, and sports arenas, shaped and reflected an age of dramatic change. Religion became not just something to experience but to consume alongside the greatest spectacles of the era.

MCNABB, T. D., Religious Epistemology: Volume 0, Part 0. Cambridge University Press, 2018. 100p. Paperback. Series: Elements in the Philosophy of Religion. If epistemology is roughly the study of knowledge, justification, warrant, and rationality, then religious epistemology is the study of how these epistemic concepts relate to religious belief and practice. This Element, while surveying various religious epistemologies, argues specifically for Plantingian religious epistemology. It makes the case for proper functionalism and Plantinga's AC models, while it also responds to debunking arguments informed by cognitive science of religion. It serves as a bridge between religious epistemology and natural theology. (Publisher's information). € 20.63 (New) (MD)
