Reclaiming the Sacred: Lay Religion and Popular Politics in Revolutionary France - Wilder House Series in Politics, History & Culture - Academic Research on French Revolution & Religious Movements

"This is a carefully crafted piece of social history that broadly revises widely held preconceptions about ideological currents in the French Revolution. The issues it raises go beyond those that might appeal only to specialists in communal action and religion; historical sociologists and sociologists of culture will also find this to be an important and provocative study."--American Journal of Sociology
