Originally published fifteen years ago and the basis for an award-winning PBS documentary  this timely new edition arrives just as recent elections have left an ever-growing number of secular Americans wondering exactly how the other half thinks. From Oregon to Florida  and from Texas to North Dakota  Balmer offers an immensely readable tour of the highways and byways of American evangelicalism. We visit a revival meeting in Florida  an Indian reservation in the Dakotas  a trade show for Christian booksellers  and a fundamentalist Bible camp in the Adirondacks. For this fourth edition  Balmer adds two chapters  one on the phenomenally popular \"Painter of Light \" Thomas Kinkade  and one on Rick Warren  author of The Purpose-Driven Life. Through the eyes of these and other people Balmer meets on his journeys  we arrive at a more accurate and balanced understanding of an abiding tradition that  as the author argues  is both rich in theological insights and mired in contradictions. Mine Eyes Have Seen the Glory offers readers a genuine insight into the appeal that the evangelicals movement holds for thousands of Americans.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45275720712245,"sku":"ByrdShop_0195300467","price":65.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780195300468.jpg?v=1780512757","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/mine-eyes-have-seen-the-glory-a-journey-into-the-evangelical-subculture-in-america-9780195300468","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
