SINCE THE LATE NINETEENTH CENTURY, RELIGIOUSLY THEMED
BOOKS
IN AMERICA HAVE BEEN
COMMERCIALLY POPULAR YET SCORNED BY
CRITICS.
WORKING AT THE INTERSECTION OF
LIT
ERARY HISTORY, LIVED RELIGION, AND CONSUMER CULTURE,
ERIN
A. SMITH CONSIDERS THE
LARGELY UNEXPLORED WORLD OF POPULAR RELIGIOUS BOOKS, EXAMINING THE
APPARENT
TENSION BETWEEN ECONOMIC AND RELIGIOUS IMPERATIVES FOR AUTHORS,
PUBLISHERS, AND
READERS. SMITH
ARGUES
THAT THIS LITERATURE SERVED AS A FORM OF EXTRA-ECCLESIASTICAL
MINISTRY
AND CREDITS THE POPULARITY AND LONGEVITY OF RELIGIOUS
BOOKS
TO THEIR DAY-
TO-DAY USEFULNESS RATHER THAN THEIR THEOLOGICAL CORRECTNESS OR AESTHETIC
QUALITY.
DRAWING
ON PUBLISHERS RECORDS, LETTERS BY READERS TO AUTHORS, PROMOTIONAL MATE
RIALS,
AND INTERVIEWS
WITH
CONTEMPORARY RELIGIOUS-READING GROUPS, SMITH OFFERS A
COMPREHENSIVE STUDY THAT FINDS SURPRISING OVERLAP ACROSS THE RELIGIOUS
SPECTRUM-
PROTESTANT, CATHOLIC, AND JEWISH, LIBERAL AND CONSERVATIVE. SMITH TELLS
THE STORY OF
HOW AUTHORS, PUBLISHERS, AND READERS RECONCILED THESE BOOKS DUAL
FUNCTION AS
BEST-SELLING CONSUMER
GOODS
AND SPIRITUALLY EDIFYING LITERATURE. WHAT WOULD JESUS
READ?
WILL
BE OF INTEREST TO LITERARY AND CULTURAL HISTORIANS, STUDENTS IN THE
FIELD OF
PRINT
CULTURE, AND SCHOLARS OF RELIGIOUS STUDIES.
ERIN
A.
SMITH
IS ASSOCIATE
PROFESSOR
OF
AMERICAN
STUDIES AND LITERATURE AT THE
UNI
VERSITY
OF
TEXAS AT DALLAS.
