Together, and separately, black and white Baptists created different but intertwined cultures that profoundly shaped the South. Adopting a biracial and bicultural focus, Paul Harvey works to redefine southern religious history, and by extension southern culture, as the product of such interactionthe result of whites and blacks having drawn from and influenced each other even while remaining separate and distinct.Harvey explores the parallels and divergences of black and white religious institutions as manifested through differences in worship styles, sacred music, and political agendas. He examines the relationship of broad social phenomena like progressivism and modernization to the development of southern religion, focusing on the clash between rural southern folk religious expression and models of spirituality drawn from northern Victorian standards.In tracing the growth of Baptist churches from small outposts of radically democratic plain-folk religion in the mid-eighteenth century to conservative and culturally dominant institutions in the twentieth century, Harvey explores one of the most impressive evolutions of American religious and cultural history.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
I am deeply indebted to the libraries and archivists who made my research both possible and fruitful, including the following: the North Carolina Baptist Historical Commission in the Smith-Reynolds Library, Wake Forest University; the Records Room of the Foreign Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention; the Howard University Library; the American Baptist Historical Society Library, Rochester, New York; and the Boyce Library at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Louisville, Kentucky. Interlibrary loan personnel at the University of California at Berkeley, Valparaiso University, Belmont University, and The Colorado College expedited an inordinate number of requests with efficiency. My deepest debt is to the Southern Baptist Historical Library and Archives in Nashville, Tennessee. The librarians and archivists there provided me with a research home, ferreted out obscure documents from the depths of their vaults, searched out places for me to live, directed me to the closest lunch bargains, and endured my overdue book lapses. For all this and more, thanks go to Bill Sumners, Pat Brown, Mary Jo Driscoll, Lynn May, and Charles DeWeese.
