- Summary:
- McMullen challenges the pervasive use of the Fundamentalist-Modernist dichotomy for understanding turn-of-the-twentieth-century American Protestantism. He attempts to do this by examining big tent revivalism in light of the transition from a Victorian to a consumer culture. The book argues that rather than mere dour opposition, big tent revivalists participated in the shift away from Victorianism and helped in the construction of a new consumer culture in the United States between the 1880s and the 1920s.
