"Dr. Greg Van Dussen's newest work combines a pastor's grasp of the powerful spirituality of camp meetings with a historian's understanding of the historical times and needs--then and now. Mining copious primary sources that range across time, space, culture, and gender, he probes the dynamics fueling the Wesleyan and Wesleyan Holiness movement in North America and its transformative power. Readers of Van Dussen's Circuit Riders on the Road to Glory will find this a welcome companion piece. And if you think you already know camp meetings, you are in for some surprises." -Kathleen Smith Kutolowski, Associate Professor and Chair Emerita, Department of History, SUNY Brockport
