Book Synopsis A Divinity for All Persuasions by : T. J. Tomlin
Book excerpt: This text uncovers the prevailing religious sensibility at the center of early America's most popular form of print: the almanac. Employing a wealth of archival material, T.J. Tomlin reveals the pan-Protestant sensibility distributed through the almanacs' pages between 1730 and 1820, finding that almanacs played an unparalleled role in reinforcing British North America's 'shared religious culture.'
