Description

Now & Then: The Appalachian Magazine,Volume 13, Issue 03, published in 1996. The theme of this issue is Religion in Appalachia. This issue examines the diverse expressions shaping Appalachian life, from Jewish identity, to Baptist denominational fragmentation, and Black Pentecostal worship. Through articles on seminary immersion in regional communities, the integration of faith and clinical care, prayer networks and healing testimonies, and Catholic perspectives on sustainable development, it explores how belief systems inform cultural continuity, community organization, and responses to social change. Complemented by essays, fiction, poetry, reviews, and features on Appalachian worship traditions, including Primitive Baptist singing and bluegrass hymnody, the issue presents religion as both a unifying and contested force within the region's historical and contemporary identity.
