On Jordan's Stormy Banks: Evangelicalism in Mississippi, 1773-1876

By Randy J Sparks

On Jordan's Stormy Banks is a social history of southern evangelicalism from the late eighteenth century to the end of Reconstruction. By focusing on the three largest evangelical denominations in a single state--Baptist, Methodist, and Presbyterian--Randy J. Sparks charts the rise of evangelicals on the southern frontier and their remarkable increase in numbers, wealth, and influence throughout the remainder of the period.
