Synopsis

From Pilgrim Pulpit to the Electronic Era fills a long existing void in the study of American public address. In this comprehensive and fascinating discussion of the history and evolution of religious communication in the United States, Professor Cotham has provided a lexicon of a wide range of speakers-from early colonial preachers to modern-day religious and spiritual leaders. Fortunately, the text has included an examination of various non-Christian religious leaders and speakers including American Muslims, Native Americans, and American Jews. Women, African-Americans; national political speakers are included as are writers, artists, and even entertainers. While well-researched and amply illustrated, the text is narrated with an engaging and readable style that appeals both to university students and general readers. What an excellent classroom text! And what a welcome addition to the library of anyone seeking to understand how religious communication has been instrumental in shaping our American history and our American culture! -Margaret McCree, Professor, Middle Tennessee State University
