Serpent Handling Believers Paperback - 1993 - 1st Edition
by Thomas G. Burton
In some remote churches in East Tennessee and nearby states, Jesus's words in the 16th chapter of Saint Mark are taken literally: "and they shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them". Members of these churches describe themselves as Pentecostal-Holiness. Burton debunks the myths surrounding these "snake-handlers" and gives a balanced view of their religion. 84 illustrations.

Description:
Knoxville, TN: University of Tennessee Press, 1993. Softcover, [x], 208 pages. Good+ condition. Size 10"x8". "Handling serpents and fire, laying on the hands of healing, speaking in tongues, and drinking poison are seen as acts of Christian obedience that demonstrate the power of the Holy Spirit. In the past these very religious people have often been distorted by the media as members of a 'snake religion' or a 'snake cult' because of their unorthodox beliefs and practices. Thomas Burton seeks to present a more balanced view of this generally misunderstood group in this in-depth study of serpent handlers and their religious culture." Includes b&w photo illustrations, references, and index. Book has moderate exterior handling/shelfwear, text is clean and unmarked.. Good+.
