About This Item
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+.
