Trade Review
"Corrigan's latest book turns a surprising theme-emptiness-into a fresh way to conceptualize the American religious landscape. Drawing on an impressive range of sources, he argues that emptiness is a ubiquitous feature of American Christianity and is experienced in multiple ways-emotionally, bodily, spatially, temporally, and doctrinally. Rich, erudite, and thought-provoking, this is a highly original contribution and a work of considerable theoretical importance." (Peter J. Thuesen, author of Predestination: The American Career of a Contentious Doctrine)
